The entire Bible applies to Christians...all 66 books from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for
reproof, for
correction, for
instruction in righteousness: That the
man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
