From Martin Luther

Yet that wisdom is not of itself evil, nor is the law to be evaded; but without the theology of the cross man misuses the best in the worst manner.

It is certain that man must utterly despair of his own ability before he is prepared to receive the grace of Christ.

Here I stand I can do no other

Yet it means not inward repentance only; nay, there is no inward repentance which does not outwardly work divers mortifications of the flesh.
