Gerhard and Walther

Likewise, the fall of Eve did not just merely consist of an outward bite from the apple, but rather the inward turning away of the heart from God and His command.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis II:171.

The sin of living for oneself is both the most common and the most hidden sin. By nature, all people live for themselves, but none recognizes that he is stuck in this sin and what a great abomination it is.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 369
