Every doer of the law and every moral worker is accursed, for he walketh in the presumption of his own righteousness.
Martin LutherOur works do not generate righteousness, rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.
Martin LutherIt is with all these qualities that we must stand before God and intervene on behalf of those who do not have them, as though clothed with someone else's garmentBut even before men we must, with the same love, render them service against their detractors and those who are violent toward them; for this is what Christ did for us.
Martin Luther
