Luther


“You must always fight against the devil and all his works with humility, and yet at the same time maintain a bold faith. And if that is no help, then do without the sacrament, the altar, the priest, and t he church, because the Word of God condemned in the bull is far more than all the rest put together. The soul cannot do without the Word of God, but it can do quite well without sacraments.” Martin Luther, An Instruction to Penitents, LW, AE, 44:226-7
