But the Lord made her straight. There is hope then, for the children, that is, even until the day of judgment come. Man ascribes much to himself. A righteous man is something great. But yet a righteous man is righteous only by the grace of God.
All men are liars.
The Lord Jesus Himself, without ceasing to be God, vouchsafed to be Man. If man then would be anything good, it must not be of anything of his own. If he would wish to be true, he must be so of that which is from God, not of anything of his own. So much did lying prevail before the flood, that after the flood only eight men remained. By them the earth was again replenished with lying men, and out of them was elected the people of God.
