Baller Luther quote

“I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word; otherwise I did nothing. And then while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my Philip [Melanchthon] and with [Nicholas] Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy, that never a prince or emperor inflicted such damage upon it. I did nothing; the Word did it all... I did nothing; I left it to the Word.”
