15 and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew scriptures)
Which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith
Which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to him and
Having absolute confidence in his wisdom, power and goodness].

Is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction
[of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness
[learning to live in conformity to god’s will, both publicly and privately—
Behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage];

Outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
