Galatians Commentary

To paraphrase Luther, I would kiss Pope Paul's feet
and carry him in my arms,
if He conceded that we are justified by faith alone.

(from Luther's Commentary on Galatians 2:6, quoting the sentences immediately before those in your Pope graphic)

"I know that a Christian should be humble, but against the Pope I am going to be proud and say to him: 'You, Pope, I will not have you for my boss, for I am sure that my doctrine is divine.' Such pride against the Pope is imperative, for if we are not stout and proud we shall never succeed in defending the article of the righteousness of faith."
