3. Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17

5. "I had indeed been captivated with an extraordinary ardour for understanding Paul in the Letter to the Romans. But there was one word in Chapter 1 that had stood in my way... Thus I raged with a fierce and troubled conscience. Nevertheless, I beat importunately upon Paul at that place, most ardently desiring to know what St. Paul wanted.

6. At last, by the mercy of God, meditating day and night, I gave heed to the context of the words... There I began to understand... Here I felt that I was altogether born again and had entered paradise itself through open gates.

7. Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Holy Scriptures or by plain reason - for I can believe neither pope nor councils alone, as it is clear that they have erred repeatedly and contradicted themselves - I consider myself convicted by the testimony of Holy Scripture, which is my basis. My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Thus I cannot and will not recant... Here I stand, I can do no other. So help me God.
