16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (ESV)
All scriptureā¦not traditions of the catholic church. If you take issue with this take it up with God. He wrote the Bible not the catholic church, He preserved the Bible. He said the Bible (Scripture) is God breathed, and that through it we may be equipped for every good work.
JL: It has already been pointed out those verses you posted do not say scripture only,

forums.catholic-questions.org/showpost.php?p=8535769&postcount=765. I want to make another point on those verses you posted. Who is to teach, reprove, correct, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work?
2Tm4:1
I CHARGE THEE therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2
PREACH THE WORD; be instant in season, out of season; **REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT WITH **all long suffering and
DOCTRINE. 3 For THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 AND THEY SHALL TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
MAKE FULL PROOF OF THY MINISTRY]
[Titus2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 **THESE THINGS SPEAK, and
EXHORT, and
REBUKE WITH ALL AUTHORITY. Let no man despise thee.] It is a SENT ordained minister of the Church, by laying on of hands, who is to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all AUTHORITY. Making full use of their ministry.
[Hb13:7 **REMEMBER THEM WHICH HAVE THE RULE OVER YOU, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.]
[Hb13:17 **OBEY THEM THAT HAVE THE RULE OVER YOU, and submit yourselves: for
THEY WATCH FOR YOUR SOULS, as
THEY that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.]
[Hb13:24 **SALUTE ALL THEM THAT HAVE THE RULE OVER YOU, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.]
[2Thes3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye **WITHDRAW yourselves **FROM EVERY BROTHER THAT WALKETH **disorderly, and **NOT AFTER THE TRADITION **which he
RECEIVED OF US.]
2Thes3:14 Whereunto he called you by
OUR GOSPEL, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and **HOLD THE TRADITIONS **which ye have been taught,
WHETHER BY word, OR our epistle.
[2 TIM 1:13
HOLD FAST THE form of SOUND WORDS, which thou hast HEARD OF ME, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was COMMITTED unto thee KEEP ****BY THE HOLY GHOST **which
dwelleth IN US.]
2Tm 1:6 Hence I remind you to
REKINDLE THE GIFT OF GOD that is
WITHIN YOU THROUGH THE LAYING ON OF MY HANDS 7 for
God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of POWER and love and self control
You canāt post from any book of the bible telling us ALL Tradition is now found in scripture. Because that is a tradition of men. A tradition of men outside sola scriptura your own rule of faith. That means you use more than sola scriptura as a rule of faith authority.
