"All" does not mean "only."

And "profitable" does not mean "sufficient."

Carry on demonstrating your reading skills.

Well you go ahead and carry on following the teachings of men via popes, and saints or whatever. I’ll stick with what I know came from God. Thanks.

Demonstrate your reading skills by reading the rest of the verse which says that scripture makes the man of God "thoroughly equipped" for "every good work." So, Paul is claiming before his death that there is already a body of scripture that is sufficient to make a man complete, finished, accomplished, what God made him to be.

I'm probably a day late and a dollar short on this thread but, seeing the Soothing one participating, I couldn't resist commenting on your reading skills.

"this" does not mean "Peter".
