"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
NOTE: The word which is rendered "perfect" in the above passage occurs but this once in the entire New Testament. In the Greek, it is "artios" and signifies ready, complete, well fitted, as an instrument with all its strings, a machine with all its parts, a body with all its limbs, joints, muscles and sinews. The usual word for "perfect" is "teleios," which signifies the reaching of the moral end in any particular thing.
