The Scriptures themselves (the NT) do not contain any statement of the doctrine of sola scriptura.

Consider yourself taught, corrected, and rebuked!

2 Timothy 3: 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Peter 1: ... 19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

I believe there’s another reference in which Paul’s scriptures are acknowledged. Anyhow, good catch. And this is how any small-o orthodox Christian church would treat the bible writings, whether erroneously or correctly.

Do you know the difference between "only" and "all"?

When you find a verse that says that ONLY Scripture contains revelation, I will consider myself corrected and rebuked.
