Our pastor preached on Sunday on 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.He shared with us that, in Greek, Paul created a word, "God-breathed" (I wrote it down as "theoneustos" - I looked it up via BibleGateway in Greek and found "θεοπνευστος" which Google Translate transliterates to "theopnefstos") - anyway, Pastor Rickey said that this was the only place in the Bible that this word was used, and, in fact, it was not used in any other literature at that time either - so Paul made up a word to explain how scripture came to be.
Pretty cool, huh?
