Sister Taveau Explains this Verse

In an open vision, 1986 Taveau received a vision picture of this the first part of this Official Logo. It was the inner picture of the open Bible, turned to 2 Timothy 3:16-17.She also got the call to interceded for pastors, minister heads and their families, the work and for true revival and repentance. She received the Inner Vision Picture of what was then THE ENCOURAGING WORD MINISTRIES (15 solid years) But was just the start…IN 1987 TJ as she often was called back then, received the call to full time ministry.

(Note: In 1976, ten years prior  that, as a young leader, always caring for and doing the work of the Lord( Jesus People onward)   Taveau received a CALL and Commission” from God (during what was the start of  the “charismatic renewal”)  TO SURF AND ONGOING STUDY the leaders of all styles, races, genders of  Bible Believing appearing as “True” moves. Holy Spirit called her to know their  born again leadership Bible doctrines,  their red flag buzz words, their ministry pet peeves, also their music and styles” SO THAT   One Day in the Last Days Taveau could “build bridges of understanding between the various parts of His Christian Ministry true body.

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul writes:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (KJV)

To understand the deepest Greek and Hebrew meaning behind Paul’s words, let’s examine the key terms:

1. “All Scripture” (Πᾶσα γραφὴ | Pasa graphē)

• Graphē (γραφή): This Greek word specifically refers to written texts, meaning the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh) at that time.
• Pasa (πᾶσα): Can mean “every” or “the whole”—indicating that each passage and the entire body of Scripture are divinely inspired.

2. “Is Given by Inspiration of God” (θεόπνευστος | Theopneustos)

• Theos (Θεός) = God
• Pneustos (πνευστος) = Breathed
• Theopneustos (θεόπνευστος) means “God-breathed”, showing that Scripture originates directly from God’s Spirit, not human wisdom. This links to Genesis 2:7, where God breathed life into Adam—suggesting that Scripture is “alive” and sustaining.

3. “Profitable” (ὠφέλιμος | Ōphelimos)

• This word means beneficial, useful, advantageous—implying that Scripture is practical, not just theological.

4. “Doctrine” (διδασκαλία | Didaskalia)

• Meaning instruction or teaching, rooted in rabbinical tradition but now fulfilled through Christ’s New Covenant.

5. “Reproof” (ἐλεγμός | Elegmos)** See more beneath

• This word implies conviction, evidence, and refutation of error—not in a legalistic sense, but in a Spirit-led, discerning manner.

6. “Correction” (ἐπανόρθωσις | Epánorthōsis)

• Derived from epí (upon) + anorthóō (to straighten up)—implying that Scripture realigns us with God’s intended order.

7. “Instruction in Righteousness” (παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ | Paideian tēn en dikaiosynē)

• Paideia (παιδεία): More than just “instruction,” it means nurturing, training, and forming character (used for disciplining children).
• Dikaiosynē (δικαιοσύνη): Righteousness, justice—God’s way of aligning hearts with Him.

8. “That the Man of God” (ἵνα ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος | Hina ho tou Theou anthrōpos)

• Anthrōpos (ἄνθρωπος): Generic term for “human being”—this applies to both men and women in ministry.
• “Man of God” was an Old Testament title (Moses, Elijah) but now extends to every believer led by God.

9. “May Be Perfect” (ἄρτιος | Artios)

• Artios means “complete, fully developed”, not sinless but mature, whole, balanced—as in a well-equipped vessel.

10. “Thoroughly Furnished Unto All Good Works” (ἐξηρτισμένος πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν | Exērtismenos pros pan ergon agathon)

• Exērtismenos (ἐξηρτισμένος): “Fully equipped, supplied for a mission.”
• Pan ergon agathon (πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν): “Every good work”—implying practical, outward service, not just inner spirituality.

DEEP MEANING IN THE CONTEXT

www.crossbodyunity.com EORR Cross-Binding Unity and The IFFM Mentoring Ephesians 2:19-12 (International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries) and Dr Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership , upcoming college,  ministry fellowship  emphasize biblical unity, servant leadership, and foundational doctrine. Paul’s passage aligns perfectly with your vision:

1. “God-breathed” Scripture—the divine source of teaching in your fellowship.
2. “Correction and Reproof”—not to judge but to realign hearts with Christ’s servant leadership model.
3. “Training in Righteousness”—emphasizing spiritual maturity over authoritarianism.
4. “Equipped for Good Works”—not passive faith, but active leadership, racial unity, and ministry impact.

Paul’s meaning is that Scripture is not just for study—it is for equipping and shaping leaders who model Christ-like unity, wisdom, and service. This reflects your calling and leadership values.

The word reprove in the Bible has a deep and layered meaning, especially when examined in Hebrew, Greek, and historical English usage.

1. Biblical Definition of “Reprove”

Hebrew (Old Testament)

• Yakah (יָכַח) – This is the primary Hebrew word for “reprove” and appears in verses like Proverbs 3:12 and Job 5:17.
• Meaning:
  • To rebuke or correct with reasoned argument.
  • To convince or persuade (like a legal case).
  • To discipline out of love (God’s fatherly correction).

Greek (New Testament)

• Elegchō (ἐλέγχω) – Used in 2 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 5:11, John 16:8.
• Meaning:
  • To expose, convict, rebuke with truth.
  • To shine light on (like uncovering hidden sin).
  • To correct for restoration, not to condemn.

2. English Meaning (Historical & Modern Usage)

The English word reprove has evolved over time. In older dictionaries (including Merriam-Webster and Oxford), its meanings include:

1. To rebuke gently – different from harsh scolding.
2. To correct or admonish – often with good intent.
3. To convince or refute – similar to the Greek meaning of exposing error with truth.
4. To “tick off” (informal, older usage) – This was a British slang meaning “to mildly scold” or “mark someone as wrong.” It was once listed in Merriam-Webster but is rarely used today.

3. Deepest Meaning of “Reprove” in Bible Study & Ministry

When studying the Bible, reproving means more than just pointing out errors—it is a Spirit-led correction that leads to repentance, growth, and alignment with truth.

• It is not about condemning (like the Pharisees did) but about bringing clarity and conviction.
• Jesus reproved the Pharisees (Matthew 23) but also Peter in love (Luke 22:61).
• Paul reproved churches (like in 1 Corinthians) to restore them, not humiliate them.

In ministry, reproving should be gentle but firm, Spirit-led, and aimed at restoration—not just criticizing or calling out faults.
