Is all Scripture inspired by God?
A broad claim of divine inspiration stands beside authors identifying personal judgment and the possibility of imperfect writing.
- Textual conflict
- Weak contradiction
- The supplied passages do not establish incompatible claims. Different events, meanings, or conditions may account for the difference.
- Importance
- Foundational
- A central claim about origins, salvation, divine justice, or religious authority.
Inspiration does not expressly mean direct dictation or exclude the human judgment and stylistic limitations acknowledged by authors.
An editorial assessment of the quoted passages. Importance describes the stakes; it does not increase certainty. Reading order weighs both.
All scripture is described as divinely inspired and useful
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Biblical authors distinguish their judgment and acknowledge possible imperfection
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
