[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

scripture
   invariably in the new testament denotes that definite collection
   of sacred books, regarded as given by inspiration of god, which
   we usually call the old testament 2 tim. 3:15, 16; john 20:9;
   gal. 3:22; 2 pet. 1:20. it was god's purpose thus to perpetuate
   his revealed will. from time to time he raised up men to commit
   to writing in an infallible record the revelation he gave. the
   "scripture," or collection of sacred writings, was thus enlarged
   from time to time as god saw necessary. we have now a completed
   "scripture," consisting of the old and new testaments. the old
   testament canon in the time of our lord was precisely the same
   as that which we now possess under that name. he placed the seal
   of his own authority on this collection of writings, as all
   equally given by inspiration matt. 5:17; 7:12; 22:40; luke
   16:29, 31. see bible; canon.
