1. Scripture cannot be broken:
"If he called them gods to whom the word of God came--and the Scripture cannot be broken--..." (John 10:35)
2. Scripture is enough for getting the eternal life:
""Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'"
(Luke 16:29), the context is about the life after death
3. Scripture is above any other sources of teaching, i.e. over tradition:
" Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?" (Matthew15:3)
When you join these three points together (Scripture is true, Scripture is enough, Scripture is over human additions), you will get the core of Sola Scriptura, IMHO.

Philippians 4:8
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Paul says whatever you find with these virtues to think on them. He does not say whatever you find within official canon of scripture.

Find this for me. It is written that before any strange gods were among men was I Am, Yahweh.
It is told in the Word how at one time all men knew God but over time different groups made their own gods , drifting away from th eOne True God.
There were just a few remaining who still knew God among whom was Abraham.
With these teachings it is implied the Bible is the true Word of God, but do not jump into it without faith for theire is no understanding, no true knowledge and no true wisdom without the guidance of the Holy Spirit...

You can think of any good movie, music, book, tradition, preaching, deuterocanonical book etc as you wish.
It does not contradict the Sola Scriptura principle.
Sola Scriptura is a rule for establishing teachings binding for all Christians, for so called common church, regarding salvation and other basic things.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen John 21:25
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1Timothy 1:4

Eye witnesses have the proof, and what Jesus taught them, and its in the Bible. The Bible is the Sword, the written word, and the Bible tells us put on the Whole Armour of God.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
The word also says.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matthew 4:7
