Luther

Now, the Christian hatred of sin discriminates between the vices and the individual. It endeavors to exterminate only the former and to preserve the later. It does flee from, evade, reject or despise anyone: rather it receives every man, takes a warm interest in him and accords him treatment calculated to relieve him of his vices. —Sermon for Advent II (Epistle), CP VI:35
