Martin Luther:
I cannot renounce all of my works because they are not all the same. First are those books in which if I have described Christian faith and life so simply that even my opponents have admitted that these books are useful. To renounce these writings would be unthinkable for that would be To renounce accepted Christian truths... The second group of my work is directed against the foul doctrine and evil living of the Popes, past and present... Through the laws of the Pope and the doctrines of men, the consciences of the faithful have been miserably vexed and flayed. If I recant these books, I will do nothing but add strength to tyranny and open not just the windows but also the doors to this great ungodliness... In the third group I have written against private persons and individuals who uphold Roman tyranny and have attacked my own efforts to encourage piety to Christ. I confess that I have written too harshly. I am but a man and I can err. Only let my errors be proven by Scripture and I will revoke my work and throw my books into the fire

First are those books in which
00:00:08.299 --> 00:00:12.821
I have described Christian faith and life so simply that
00:00:12.897 --> 00:00:16.592
even my opponents have admitted that these works are useful
00:00:16.665 --> 00:00:20.255
To renounce these writings would be unthinkable
00:00:20.033 --> 00:00:23.818
for that would be to renounce accepted Christian truths
00:00:23.896 --> 00:00:25.761
He is not here to make speeches
00:00:25.831 --> 00:00:27.626
only to answer
00:00:27.697 --> 00:00:30.991
The second group of my work is directed against the foul doctrine
00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:33.528
and evil living of the Popes

the consciences of the faithful have been miserably vexed and flayed
00:00:49.327 --> 00:00:52.622
If I recant these books
00:00:54.002 --> 00:00:57.923
I will do nothing but add strength to tyranny
00:00:57.992 --> 00:00:59.821
and open not just the windows but also the doors
00:00:59.892 --> 00:01:01.484
to this great ungodliness
00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:05.003
