2 Timothy 3:15  
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 4:1
 ¶I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2  Preach the word;
be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Here is how the verses read from a better translation. Please note how Paul told Timothy that it was the Scriptures that made him wise unto salvation and that Timothy must preach the word, not the vain traditions of men.

Colossians 2:8  
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Would to God that people would love Jesus Christ, who died to save their souls from an eternity in Hell, more than they love their vain traditions.
