Exegesis
The clause is a verbless nominal sentence in Greek, with pasa graphe {πᾶσα γραφὴ | pâ-sa gra-phḗ} functioning as the subject and the two coordinated predicates theopneustos kai ophelimos {θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος | the-óp-neus-tos kaí ō-phé-li-mos} describing its nature and benefit.
The predicate adjective theopneustos {θεόπνευστος | the-óp-neus-tos} characterizes Scripture in terms of divine origin, while ophelimos {ὠφέλιμος | ō-phé-li-mos} highlights its practical usefulness, with kai {καὶ | kaí} tightly joining these two aspects.
