Scripture is not sufficient to convince an infidel

Book I
On the Knowledge of God the Creator

Chapter VIII
Rational Proofs to Establish the Belief of the Scripture

John Calvin wrote: 

Now, all these rational proofs, that have been advanced for the Divine origin of Scripture, are still not sufficient to produce firm faith in it. The Scripture will only be effectual to produce the saving knowledge of God, when the Holy Spirit also acts to produce that internal persuasion. Without faith, which is the Holy Spirit’s work, no amount of rational proofs of the Scripture will convince an infidel.
