For this promise of God does not lie; the promise was made to Abraham and to his seed, not for one year or for a thousand years, but “for the ages,” that is, from one generation to another, without end. We ought not therefore treat the Jews in so unkindly a spirit, for there are future Christians among them, and they are turning every day.—Martin Luther, Magnificat, AE 21:334, 335.
The most remarkable thing is this. Whenever you find a man who says that he does not believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later. He may break his promise to you, but if you try breaking one to him he will be complaining ‘It’s not fair’ before you can say Jack Robinson.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 247.
