"In nature, in the Scriptures, and in the Gospel of Christ God reveals Himself, not mere evidences of His existence, not mere doctrines concerning Himself, not a mere history of His dealings with men, but HIMSELF." The King James Version Defended, p 4
"Every believer is a priest unto God through Christ." The King James Version Defended, p 26
"Christ's kingdom is, in the first place, a kingdom of power." The King James Version Defended, p 27
"Our faith in Him and in Jesus Christ His Son is not the product of our sinful, human minds and will but the gracious gift of His Holy Spirit." The King James Version Defended, p 38
"For in the working out of their theory Westcott and Hort followed an essentially naturalistic method. Indeed, they prided themselves on treating the text of the New Testament as they would that of any other book, making little or nothing of inspiration and providence. 'For ourselves,' Hort wrote, ' we dare not introduce considerations which could not reasonably be applied to other ancient texts, supposing them to have documentary attestation of equal amount, variety, and antiquity.'" The King James Version Defended, p 66
"In dealing with the Gospel writers the fundamental emphasis must be on the inspiration of the Holy Spirit under which they wrote." The King James Version Defended, p 73
"According to the Form-critics, Paul was not teaching the Christian community anything, but merely rehearsing to the community what he had learned from it. But who were these unknown hymn makers of the Christian community who were able to mold the thinking of the Apostle Paul? How could these profound theological geniuses have remained anonymous?" The King James Version Defended, p 82
"Therefore when God saves sinners, He regenerates them through the power of the Holy Spirit. He raises them up out of their death in sin and gives them the gift of faith." The King James Version Defended, p 87
"Hence in the writing of the Scriptures the Holy Spirit did not have to struggle, as modernists insist, with the limitations of human language. The languages in which the writing was done were perfectly adapted to the expression of His divine thoughts." The King James Version Defended, p 90
"It would have been passing strange if God had guided His people in regard to the New Testament canon [i.e, the Byzantine canon] but had withheld from them His divine assistance in the matter of the New Testament text." The King James Version Defended, p 106
"Dr. Warfield's treatment of the New Testament text illustrates this cleavage in his thinking. In the realm of dogmatics he agreed with the Westminster Confession that the New Testament text had been "kept pure in all ages" by God's singular care and providence, but in the realm of New Testament textual criticism he agreed with Westcott and Hort in ignoring God's providence and even went so far as to assert that the same methods were to be applied to the text of the New Testament that would be applied to the text of a morning newspaper... [Warfield] would have us believe that during the manuscript period orthodox Christians corrupted the New Testament text, that the text used by the Protestant Reformers [who drew up the Westminster Confession] was the worst of all, and the true text was not restored until the 19th century, when Tregelles brought it forth out of the Pope's library, when Tischendorf rescued it from a waste basket on Mt. Sinai, and when Westcott and Hort were providentially guided to construct a theory of it which ignores God's special providence and treats the text of the New Testament like the text of any other ancient book." The King James Version Defended, p 110-111
