95 Theses
|
If I am not persuaded by the testimony of Scripture and clear reasonable grounds—for I believe neither the Pope nor the Council alone, since it is apparent that they have often erred and contradicted themselves—then I am convinced by the passages of the Holy Scripture which I have quoted, and my conscience is captive in the word of God. Therefore I neither can nor will recant anything . . . God help me, Amen.
~Martin Luther
Diet of Worms April 17, 1521
