2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
Oh my goodness!!! You are using the same argument used by those dreaded "Sola Scriptura" devotees.

2 Timothy 3:16 is a verse that is commonly misunderstood to support
sola scriptura. If one reads the preceding chapters, one discovers that it actually says that a bishop of the Church, having received the Holy Spirit through the sacramental laying of the hands, can use the scripture in a salutary fashion as a complement to the oral instruction. Even the quote alone, outside of the context of the entire letter, does not say that the scripture is sufficient, -- yet it is brazenly quoted as if it does.
(Quoting myself again).
