paginate query_posts (query posts)

Addendum to this closed post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/paginate-query_posts?replies=2
I’m using a slightly newer version of wordpress than this post

Similar scenario: this code works properly and now i’m trying to add the pagination to the query (see code 2 & 3)

code1

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=6&&cat=3&&orderby=title&&order=ASC');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<h4 class="bio" style="font-weight:bold"> <?php the_title() ?> </h4>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID,  array(65,65) ); ?> 

<?php the_content(); ?>
<p> </p>

<hr>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php echo paginate_links ('Next ?', '? Previous'); ?>

code2

<?php query_posts("cat=3&posts_per_page=5&paged=$paged");
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

code3

<?php query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=-1'. '&paged='.$paged .'cat=3&&orderby=title&&order=ASC' );
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
