This is #9 on the google list which is also highlighted in the 'Hands On' Bible and I've included #33 in the biblegateway.com list which follows it.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
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.

Romans 15:4
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
2 Peter 1:20-21
knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
1 Timothy 6:11
Fight the Good Fight of Faith
11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

Jesus loves me, This I know, For the Bible tells me so.

In one of Paul's final instructions to Timothy is a reminder that all Scripture is accurate and reliable. And on the road to Emmaus, Jesus used it.
Luke 24:27
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
It is not a collection of writings that men decided to write, it is breathed out by God. Isaiah 55.11 literally implies it is from His mouth, and does what God wants it to.
So what is the result of all of this, just go one verse back, it is able to make you wise for salvation. And that is through faith in Christ Jesus. We see it as a mirror to show us our sinful nature and how we have gone our own way apart from God. But God who wants reconciliation and provided the means through Jesus' cross.
Or to put it another way,
2 Corinthians 5:18-19
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
