Are Paul's writings inspired by God?

Last time, I was talking about the Bible being God’s Word. I quoted 2 Timothy 3:16 where paul said that “all scripture is breathed out by God.” When Paul wrote that, the New Testament was undeveloped, so Paul would have been thinking of Scripture as the Old Testament. But Christians also understand the New Testament to be God’s Word. One example of where we see this is in something that Peter wrote in 2 Peter 3:16. Peter referred to the writings of Paul, and then he said that Pauls’s writing was in the same category as all the other scriptures. In other words, Peter considered what Paul wrote to be equal in status to the Old Testament. That’s one example of why we consider Paul’s writings to be God’s Word.
