**Who gets to decide which version of the Scriptures?**

Scripture was written from the years 50 AD until about 100 AD.

The canon of Scripture was compiled later. But the Scriptures were out there being read in the churches established by the Apostles, including Paul.

Is it by tradition, or by faith alone, that we can be sure the canon of 69 books is authoritative?

Either way, it seems to me that we don't know as a matter of sola scriptura that the 69-book canon is altogether our only authoritative source of truth and wisdom. So where am I wrong?
