ALL SCRIPTURE is God-breathed

What is meant by "all Scripture"?

Biblehub lists that Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians in 54 AD, 1 Corinthians 2:

13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.
He claimed spirit inspiration. Around this time, he also wrote in 1 Thessalonians 2:

13 we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
Paul was not shy from claiming the authority of the word of God. Furthermore, the gospels were written around the same time.

In 67 AD, Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
By "all Scripture", did Paul only have the Old Testament in mind?

Paul definitely had the OT in mind. Moreover, I think he claimed the new scriptural writings produced by him and others as God-breathed as well.

I would say that all Scripture, the Old and the New Testaments, is God-breathed.
