Luther, vol. 2 of 6

Note 843 — Chapter XIV · (continued 3)

E. M. Lamond translation

Ibid., p. 92, n. 29 ff. Drews points out (p. 90) that in the 1538 edition the whole of the theses De homine “are, strange to say, omitted.” Cp. also “Disputationen,” p. 11, n. 29: “Iustificati autem sic gratis tum facimus opera, imo Christus ipse in nobis facit omnia.” Also pp. 92, 94, 95, 266, 318, 481. On p. 160 we meet with the drastic expression: The depravation of human nature by original sin is so great, “ut suspirare ad Deum non possimus, nedum nos explicare aut bonum facere.” Hence there is an end to our “liberum arbitrium; sed restituetur nobis in resurrectione mortuorum, ubi rursum collocabimur in paradisum.”
