19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a ^dlamp ^eshining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the ^fmorning star ^grises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 ^hFor no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but ⁱmen spoke from God as they were carried along ^jby the Holy Spirit.

16 ^qAll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

13 And we also thank God ^sconstantly¹ for this, that when you received the word of God, which you ^theard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men² but as what it really is, the word of God, which is ^uat work in you believers.

9 If we receive the testimony of men, ^xthe testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.
