Are Paul's Writings Scripture?

[LindaR]

Paul's writings are most definitely Scripture! Therefore the Gospel Paul preached is the very same Gospel which Jesus, Peter, James, John and all the apostles preached. There is only ONE Gospel which saves (1 Cor. 15:1-5)

2 Timothy 3 [written by Paul approx 60 ce.]
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be perfected, being fully furnished for every good work.

2 Peter 3 [written by Peter approx 64 ce.]
15 And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him;
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unsettled pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Notice that Peter says in ALL of his [Paul's] epistles [letters] meaning plural. Then Peter goes on to state "as also they do the rest of the Scriptures". Also notice that Peter's account was written after Paul's directive in 2 Timothy.


This is Paul quoting Deuteronomy 25:4 [first part] and Luke 10:7 [second part]

1 Timothy 5 [authored by Paul – approx 61-64 ce]
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward [misthos G3408]

Here are the two complete scriptures that make up Paul's singular quote:

Deuteronomy 25
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].

Luke 10
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire [misthos G3408]. Go not from house to house.

Paul considered the Gospel of Luke [it has been stated that he was a Greek physician], which is written in Greek to be "scripture", the same as Deuteronomy, which was written in Hebrew, and is thought to be authored by Moses.
