This verse has often been translated by overzealous men who have accounted the written Bible to be greater than the pure revelations of God. As they attempt to hail its perfection they actually disprove this very same thing by the works of their own hands. As in all such errors, if they worked from a prior translation then the fault rests on the one who corrupted it, but if they worked from the original language then they know that they have done it, and are guilty of producing false testimony and deliberately corrupting the word of God.
The American Standard Version has translated this verse to have the original meaning:
2 Timothy 3:15-16 And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
