Yes. It comes from people who interpret his writings, not from Paul himself. One thing that differentiate the christian church from heresies is that the christian church has a global perspective on things while the heresies focus on one aspect (in detriment of the big picture) and say that only that one aspect os the truth.
Take, for instance, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. A lot of christians see it only as a penal substitution and take it completely out of its context. For instance,
the user Elin send me to read some ch. in Romans so that I understand the atonement. But,
in order to understand the atonement you have to read all the New Testament, not just some chapters.

And for your understanding to be correct, and for God not to contradict himself,
all your understanding of the NT must agree with the clear words of
Jn 3:6; Ro 1:18, 5:9; Eph 5:6; Col 3:6; 1Th 1:10; Rev 9:15,
where atonement is about salvation from the wrath of God's justice on disobedience (Eph 5:6).
