The word alone appears nowhere in your feeble attempt to use Scripture to defend sola scriptura. Scripture refutes sola scriptura.

"But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written." John 21:25

"Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

"Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you." 1 Corinthians 11:2

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle." 2 Thessalonians 2:15

"And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6

"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." 1 Timothy 3:15

"Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 1:13

"Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation." 2 Peter 1:20

"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:16

The proof text just plain fails:

is profitable for

is a long way from "all you need for."

Flour is profitable for a perfect cake, but far from all you need. Sola flour is not a perfect cake.

>>"But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written." John 21:2<<

And obviously not needed for us to be “PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED”.

>>"Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle." 2 Thessalonians 2:15<<

And “search the scriptures daily to see if these things be true” just as Paul commended the Bereans for doing even with his own teaching.

>>"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:16<<

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Not too hard for the Holy Spirit to understand wouldn’t you say? I suppose if you are relying on man to teach you then it is rather “hard to understand”.
