Roman Catholic Lens Commentary: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

## Roman Catholic Lens Reading of 2 Timothy 3:16-17

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read this passage as affirming the divine inspiration and inerrancy of Sacred Scripture in matters of salvation, firmly establishing its role within the living Tradition of the Church. Guided by the Magisterium, we understand that all Scripture is 'God-breathed' and is integral to the Church's teaching and sanctifying mission. This passage emphasizes the necessity for Scripture to be interpreted within the context of Sacred Tradition, as both are part of the one deposit of faith which the Church preserves and proclaims.
