(hijacked from this morning's Book of Concord reading)
And for this reason, let no one boast about works, because no one is justified by his deeds. But he who is righteous has righteousness given to him because he was justified from the washing of Baptism. Faith, therefore, is that which frees through the blood of Christ, because he is blessed "whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." - St. Ambrose, Letter to Irenaeus
