Luther quotes

“Since Holy Writ once to be dealt with in fear and humility and penetrated more by studying (studio) with pious prayer than with keenness of intellect, therefore it is impossible for those who rely only on their intellect (nudo ingenio) and rush into Scripture with dirty feet, like pigs, as though Scripture were merely a sort of human knowledge not to harm themselves and others whom they instruct.” Martin Luther, Sermon on the eighth Commandment 1517, Plass 1:78, SL 3:1328
