Holy Scripture

KJV
2 Timothy 3:16
16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Isaiah 8:20
20

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

John 16:13
13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
