From Origin

There is naturally no name in the New Testament for the complete body of Scripture in the Bible; the only Scriptures then known being those of the Old Testament. In 2 Peter 3:16 , however, Paul's epistles seem brought under this category.

Common Designations

For the Old Testament books by our Lord and His apostles were 'the scriptures.' (writings) (Matthew 21:42; Mark 14:49; Luke 24:32; John 5:39; Acts 18:24; Romans 15:4 , etc.),'the holy, scriptures' (Romans 1:2 ); once 'the sacred writings' (2 Timothy 3:15 ) into; 'the law, John 1:1 (holy), His writings are recognized in the expression in the law, of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms (Luke 24:44 ).

More Briefly

The whole is summed up under 'the law and the; prophets (Matthew 5:17 , Matthew 11:13; Acts 13:15). Occasionally even the term 'law' is extended to include the other divisions (John 10:34; John 12:34; John 15:25; 1 Corinthians 14:21). Paul uses the phrase 'the oracles of God', as a name for the Old Testament Scriptures (Romans 3:2; compare Acts 7:38; Hebrews 5:12; 1 Peter 4:11).
