Moreoever, it is the duty of a faithful minister not to exceed his powers and not to abuse his office in pride, but, rather, to administer it for the benefit of his subjects.

Martin LutherGod doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
