The
expression, “given by inspiration of God,” is in the Greek one compound word, theopneustos,
meaning God-breathed. This statement, therefore, does not mean that the Scripture is inspiring or that it imparts an
emotional or spiritual influence upon its readers (although, of course, it does
this), but rather it has reference to the origin of the Scripture. The
Scripture came into being by the breath of God. Just as God breathed into man’s
nostrils and he became a living soul, so in like manner God breathed into the
writers and brought into being His infallible Word.
