It's All Scripture

2 Peter 3:2 KJV
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
This served as a simple reminder to me that both the Old Testament and the New Testament are the Word of God. The Apostles recognized that what they were writing was the Word of God. Peter affirmed that the commandments of the apostles were as much the Word of God as were those things "... spoken before by the holy prophets." He goes on to say in
2 Peter 3:15-16 KJV
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.


So he affirms Paul's words as
From the "wisdom given unto him"
Some men "wrest" them out of context to their own destruction and
Calls them Scriptures
