This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Perfect (ἄρτιος)
N.T.o. lxx. Rev. complete; but the idea is rather that of mutual, symmetrical adjustment of all that goes to make the man: harmonious combination of different qualities and powers. Comp. κατάρτισις perfecting, 2Co 13:9 : καταρτισμός perfecting (as accomplished), Eph 4:12 : καταρτίσαι make perfect or bring into complete adjustment, Heb 13:21.
Thoroughly furnished (ἐξηρτισμένος)
The same root as ἄρτιος. It fills out the idea ἄρτιος; fitted out. Only here and Act 11:5 (note). oClass.
Unto all good works (πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν)
More correctly, every good work. Any writing which can produce such profitable results vindicates itself as inspired of God. It is to be noted that the test of the divine inspiration of Scripture is here placed in its practical usefulness.
