Gerhard and Walther

We are unable to take anything out of this world, except for only what we have placed into the hands of the poor, as into a treasure chest of Christ.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:330.

Those who commit this sin [blasphemy against the Holy Spirit] are seldom frightened about it. On the other hand, many who are far from sinning in this way torment themselves thinking that they have done so.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 315.
