Unless the Holy At the time this verse was written, the "scripture" consisted only of our Old Testament. The New Testament canon was not decided upon until later. You may believe that the same is true for the New Testament verses which you quoted, but this verse does not refer to them. It would be better to simply state your belief that the New Testament books are God-breathed, instead of substantiating it with a verse which does not apply.
