John Calvin on the providential preservation of Scripture by extraordinary, and not merely ordinary, means:
“So much the more wonderful is the mercy of God towards us, in that while Paul's name was on false grounds made use of in spurious writings, his writings have, nevertheless, been preserved entire even to our times. This, unquestionably, could not have taken place accidentally, or as the effect of mere human industry, if God himself had not by his power restrained Satan and all his ministers.”
-Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 2:2.
