The Invincible Word of God

I came across this sweet quote today in the Institutes. Calvin, speaking of the durability of Scripture against the unbelieving world, says, "The power of God's word is attested to by the fact that so many have assailed without success." Then he elaborates by saying,

The whole power of earth has armed itself to destroy it [i.e. the Bible], yet all these efforts have gone up in smoke. How could it, assailed so strongly from every side, have resisted if it had relied upon human protection alone? Rather, by this very fact it is proved to be from God, because, with all human efforts striving against it, still it has of its own power thus far prevailed.
