Paul was writing at a specific point in time. When he stated that Timothy had known the Scriptures "from a child" (or from that age when he was a child) there were clearly only the OT scriptures in existence.
Timothy obviously hadn't know the book of 2 Timothy from the time he was a child. Paul was just writing the epistle in Timothy's young adulthood. |
