1 Corinthians 7:23 (ESV)
You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.

John Piper
Here in this history-making letter we are not dealing with a man and his genius. We are dealing with a man and his Owner and Ruler and God.

Galatians 1:11–12 (ESV)
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 2:4
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

John Murray
all bonds of interest and attachment alien to the promotion of the gospel had been rent asunder

Romans 11:36 (ESV)
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Ray Ortlund
Your gospel is old. You have given me something real and solid in the midst of my paper-thin, anti-historical pop culture.

Luke 24:27
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

John Murray
Extant Scriptures contained the gospel in promise; the subject matter with which the apostle is going to deal is the gospel in fulfilment of that promise.

2 Peter 1:21 (ESV)
For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:15 (ESV)
And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
