Note 173 — CONFESSIONS OF AN INQUIRING SPIRIT.

With only one seeming exception, the texts in question refer to the Old Testament alone. That exception is 2 Peter iii. 16. The word λοιπας (γραφας) is, perhaps, not necessarily so to be interpreted; and this very text formed one of the objections to the Apostolic antiquity of the Epistle itself.

[174] 2 Tim. iii. 16.
