Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:…


Mark diligently the word "our," for therein lies all the virtue, viz., that all which is said concerning us in Holy Scriptures, in such passages as "for me," "for us," "for our sin," and the like, we should know how to take well in mind, and apply particularly to ourselves, and hold fast thereto by faith.

(Luther.)
