Just what are those traditions Paul was referring to that he handed down that we are to keep that were not included in Scripture?

How do you know?

How do you know they’re from the apostles, Paul in particular?

How do you know they’ve been passed down faithfully?

What is your source for verifying all of the above?

Please provide the sources for verification purposes.

Tradition in the Bible:

 

John, chapter 21

 

 

Conclusion. 24It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them,* and we know that his testimony is true.n 25There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.o

 

 

 

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

3 John, chapter 1

 

 

13I have much to write to you, but I do not wish to write with pen and ink.h 14Instead, I hope to see you soon, when we can talk face to face. 15Peace be with you. The friends greet you; greet the friends* there each by name.i

"Just what are those traditions Paul was referring to that he handed down that we are to keep that were not included in Scripture? --- How do you know?"

A related question would be, "Just what were the books Paul was referring to as Scripture in, for instance, 2 Tim 3:6"?

So I go on to ask:

How do you know?

How do you know they’re from the apostles?

How do you know they’ve been passed down faithfully?

What is your source for verifying all of the above?

Please provide the sources for verification purposes.

I'm interested, metmom.
