“So when the devil throws
your sins in your face
and declares that you deserve
death and hell, tell him this:

"I admit that I deserve death and hell,
what of it?
For I know One who suffered
and made satisfaction on my behalf.
His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God,
and where He is there I shall be also!”

-Martin Luther,
from "On Christian Liberty"
