Paul taught nothing from the Septuagint, he had little knowledge of the Greek language, but he was one of the worlds greatest experts in the Hebrew scriptures, which he had studied since he was a toddler. The same is in all likelihood true for Timothy.
And yet St. Paul wrote in Greek.
The very idea of a NT canon is without scriptural basis. The gospel of Matthew, and the various letters of the apostles were copied in a purely random way by whoever wished to have a copy of a letter. Codification of them came long after the apostles were all dead, and Jerusalem long demolished.
So we have no scripture to base our belief on, but we are to adhere to Sola Scriptura?

No, Paul did not write in Greek, he could barely speak a few words in Greek. Everything he wrote was written in the language of Yehova.
The Greek translations, no two of which even agree with each other, are simply what predominantly survived Rome’s purge of what they knew to be God’s word, because it was written in the language that he commissioned.
