Luther's Prayer
Genesis 45:24
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that you fall not out by the way.


Controversy may be sometimes needful; but the love of disputation is a serious evil. Luther, who contended earnestly for the truth, used to pray: "From a vainglorious doctor, a contentious pastor, and nice questions, the Lord deliver His Church!"
