The Bible, as we have it now, didn't exist in the days of St Paul - he wrote a large chunk of it, after all! He would have had the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament), and regarded it as God's word to humanity, as he affirms many times in his letters by quoting extensively from it. This is also what he means when he says 'scripture'. Paul wrote most of his letters before the promulgation of the Gospels (which came later, with the earliest [Mark] being written around 65.AD).
So when Paul said in 2 Tim 3:16 That all scripture was God breathed, he was not speaking about any part that he wrote, as much of what we have today did not exist when Paul wrote these words.
So should we as Christians elevate Paul's words over that of Jesus?
I don't think we should as Jesus was very clear not to call any man teacher (rabbi) or father, as he was the only teacher or father.
So what to we do when Paul's words disagree with those of Jesus?
