'God-Breathed,' Not Just Inspired

We want to have a good definition of what this concept actually means, because in Scripture, what is this? Is it 2 Timothy or 1 Timothy? I think it's 2 Timothy. Chapter 3 and verse 16. where it says, and all scripture is God-breathed, it is not inspired by God. Wrong word. Paul actually coins a word here. What do I mean by that? He actually made up a word. Now, you could do this with the Greek language because you could take two words and you could mash them together and you could make a completely different concept. We actually sometimes do this in English, where we'll take two words and we'll mash them together and they'll actually have a meaning. It's not as easy in English because of the way we separate things, but it's literally your word God and breath put together. God breathes, and it is profitable for not doctrine, for teaching. This is the wrong word for doctrine.
