It could be that "all scripture" was Timothy's way of including books that were disputed at the time - the books we refer to as the deuterocanon, which are included in Catholic but not Protestant Bibles.

All scripture is god breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking and training in righteousness.
You see Christians throw this one out a lot and I can't help but wonder, what scripture was the anonymous author referring to? The bible or scripture as we know it didn't exist until at least 200 years after the epistle was written, and there was and a lot of different gospels and Christian sects around at the time that are now heretical.
