I am doubting that it was Paul's intent to so aggrandize the Jewish canon but I could be wrong.
Plus, that wasn't Paul. As you probably know, scholars have long ago concluded that 2 tm is a forgery by someone other than Paul.
The same goes for the 2pt quote - 2Pt is well known not to be written by Peter, but rather by some second century Christian living long after Peter's death.
