In 2 Tim the work perfect implies "complete."

In James the word perfect implies "complete in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character.

Yes, yes, yes. But you are still missing the point. What is it that says to you that ONLY Scripture is needed to make the man complete? The verses say that Scripture is useful or profitable. Not that it is sufficient.

So where do you get the idea of sufficiency from?
