Luther, Martin

Here it is, plain and unvarnished. Unless I am convicted of error by the testimony of Scriptures or…by manifest reasoning I stand convicted by the Scriptures to which I have appealed, and my conscience is taken captive by God’s Word, I cannot and will not recant anything…On this I take my stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.

Luther at Worms in Henry Bettenson, ed., Documents of the Christian Church (London: Oxford, 1963), 201.
