Prayer

Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 using the Paraphrase It Method

Today’s method definitely requires grabbing some paper and something to write with. The Paraphrase It method helps you to meditate on scripture by rewriting it in your own words.

Rewrite the following verses using the Paraphrase It method:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
