>> “Which scriptures is Paul talking about?” <<

.
The only scriptures that existed at his time: The Tanakh.

Acts 28:

[22] But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
[23] And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

That's all there was at Paul's time. .

editor-surveyor- wrote That’s all there was at Paul’s time.

Metmom wrote- The OT. The ones Jesus kept quoting about Himself as proof of the prophecy about Himself that He was fulfilling.

THAT was their Scripture.

I assume then that you agree when Paul wrote the below scripture he was also talking about the old testament?

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

And, evidently, enough for Jesus.

For when He told the story of Lazurus and the Great Gulf fixed; that is what was mentioned.

His epistles are in the Scriptures, are they not. God put them their according to His will as He used Paul to write them. Or do you not remember, Paul was an apostle of God to the Gentiles and preached the Word and was a Holy man of God who wrote the words God inspired him to, as is true of all the Scriptures. Not so of church tradition, however sound it may appear.

II Co.3:

15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
