Job 4-5; Proverbs 5; 1 Timothy 2

In short, I will preach it, teach it, write it, but I will constrain no man by force, for faith must come freely without compulsion. Take myself as an example. I opposed indulgences and all the papists, but never with force. I simply taught, preached, and wrote God's Word; otherwise I did nothing. And while I slept , or ate with my friends Philip and Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that no prince or emperor ever inflicted such losses upon it. I did nothing; the Word did everything. Martin Luther

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as I remember you in my prayers I love to see you all, you fill me with joy, because I am persuaded that your faith is genuine. I pray that you will stir up the gift that is in you because God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I pray that you will not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord
