A.T. Robertson Commentary 2 Timothy 3:17

"That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work." — 2 Timothy 3:17 (ASV)

The man of God (ο του θεου ανθρωπος). See 1 Timothy 6:11.

May be complete (ινα η αρτιος). Final clause with ινα and present subjunctive of ειμ. Αρτιος is old word (from root αρω, to fit), specially adapted, here only in N.T.

Furnished completely (εξηρτισμενος). Perfect passive participle of εξαρτιζω, rare verb, to furnish (fit) fully (perfective use of εξ), in N.T. only here and Ac 21:5. In Josephus. For καταρτιζω, see Lu 6:40; 2 Corinthians 13:11.
