Whoever then believeth the Word of God as Abraham did, is righteous before God, because he hath faith, which giveth glory unto God: that is, he giveth to God that which is due Him. For faith saith thus, I believe Thee, O God, when Thou speakest. And what saith God? Impossible things, foolish, weak, absurd, heretical things, if ye believe reason. For what to reason is more absurd, foolish, improbable, yea impossible, than when God said unto Abraham, that he should have a son of the barren and dead body of his wife Sarah?
Martin Luther, Kregel, Galatians 3:6, p. 126.
