Abstract
The practice of scriptural reasoning is possible because members of three (or more) traditions agree to study “scripture” together. Rather than attempt to define scripture in a way that encompasses multiple traditions of texts, the argument is developed that the meaning of scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16 can be read by Christians in a way that extends its scope. This extension is not warranted by the tradition: indeed Christian traditions have almost uniformly interpreted scripture as referring to the scriptures that Christians read. But the tradition implicitly makes its own extension, not least by including 2 Timothy itself within the scope of scripture. The argument is made under nine headings, each one taken from the Biblical text: “Learning”, “Firmly Believing”, “Knowing”, “Teaching”, “Reproving”, “Correcting”, “Training in the Virtues”, “Everyone who belongs to God”, and “All”. Abstract in Chinese: 三个（或更多）宗教传统中的人同意一起学习“经典”，使得经文辩读成为可能。本文并不企图给出一个能够涵盖众多传统文本的经典定义，而是认为基督徒可以发展对《提摩太后书》3章16节中“经典”含义的解读，从而扩展经典的意涵。这一拓展在传统自身那里并不能确保，事实上，各个基督教传统都倾向于从基督教的角度去解释圣经。但这种传统似乎也以模糊的方式做了自己的拓展，最起码体现在将《提摩太后书》自身即包含在《圣经》的范围之内。这一争论分为以下九个从《提摩太后书》中选取的标题：教训、知道、督责、使人归正、教导、完全、行各样的善事、属神的人、所有的人.
