A scripture that has been lost to history and likely gone forever. I don't see a source of him quoting from a Bible and could just as well be quoting from memory and teaching.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarp
Here's one example

He had something that was written, and he was referencing it as he wrote
That's exactly what I wrote above... 😒 There is no bible scripture from that time period that has survived to this day as far as we know.
Edit: Okay I digress, he was likely quoting from a scripture in his letter but a Bible from that time period hasn't been discovered and perserved to this day.

They were never lost. They were carried from church to church and copied. There's over 50,000 copies of them, and they all were faithfully reproduced, almost zero errors
How can you know that if there's not an original from that time period? You can't.
The hearts of men contain evil and imperfections and you can't convince me or many people that every person who copied that Bible through the centuries didn't make slight changes here nor there for political purposes or just due to a mistranslation game of Telephone.
You have to have a Bible made from that time period of 1st-2nd century AD to back up this claim and there isn't one that we know of. God gave you a brain and logic, use it.
