According to the Bible, man is composed of three parts:
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1Th. 5:23. (KJV)
" And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Gen. 2:7 (KJV)
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Heb. 4:12 (KJV)
God's word divides: 1) soul. 2) spirit. 3) joints and marrow* (which is the body, *see also Luke 24:39).
Spirit and soul are body-shaped - The picture above illustrates that Man consists of, body, spirit and soul. The body is buried, returns to dust (Gen. 3:19), spirit and soul go to heaven (believers) and these are body-shaped. Stephen said "receive my spirit" in Acts. 7:59. "saw their souls, they were given white robes in Rev. 6:9, 11 (Rev. 20:4) Lazarus and the rich man died, the bodies were buried, but still they were brought by angels to Abraham's bosom (in the centre of the earth, which was then, for the saints and sinners of that time), but they could both see, and speak. The rich man also wants to get water on his tongue, and they were prevented from crossing a chasm, so they could not float over to the other side (NOTE! The account in Luke 16:19-31 is NOT a parable).

" Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - 2Tim. 2:15. (KJV)
Yes all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16) so all scripture is for you, but not all scripture is written to you**. The Bible text is important to read in context and rightly divide it.
*Other Bibles have expressions like "do all you can"; "do your best" or "strive with all diligence". These Bibles don't seem to want to urge you to STUDY the Bible, strange isn't it.
**E.g. you do NOT have to change your name to Noah and then build a "Boat" like Noah did, so this was obviously not written to you.

" And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." - Apg. 11:26. (KJV)

In Acts chapter 13 Saul becomes Paul (verse 9) and is part of the church in Antioch. (verse 1) Paul and Barnabus are separated from the others "for the work to which I have called them", says God. (verse 2) They preached in a number of places (but nowhere near Egypt) and in verse 49 we can read the answer: "And the word of the Lord was published throughout the region." - Acts 13:49 (SKJVB)
The Bible has given us the answer to where the Word of God was published, in Syria, Antioch. Moreover, if we trace the Manuscripts back to their origins, there are only two sources for them - Antioch and Alexandria. Text types representing a time period or place can be traced back to one of two families of Manuscripts - the Majority Text (The Received Text) and the Minority Text (The Critical Text) - the Majority Text originating in Antioch, Syria and the Minority Text originating in Alexandria, Egypt.
In summary, the Word of God was published throughout the region around Antioch and was accepted as Scripture by the early believers when they received it as such (hence "Received Text"). Many fragments of these writings form the Majority Text that Erasmus and the King James translators used to compile the word of God.
