The Sufficiency of Scripture is a foundational doctrine in Christian theology, asserting that the Bible is the ultimate authority and contains all necessary truth for faith and practice. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Scripture is "breathed out by God" and "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness," thereby equipping believers for every good work.
