That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 3:17 Go To 2 Timothy 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
That the man of God may be perfect. For this is the exhortation of the Scripture given, that the man of God may be rendered perfect by it; without this therefore he cannot be perfect. You have the Scriptures, he says, in place of me. If you would learn anything, you may learn it from them. And if he thus wrote to Timothy, who was filled with the Spirit, how much more to us!
Thoroughly furnished unto all good works; not merely taking part in them, he means, but thoroughly furnished.
