Then somebody said, Yet Paul seems to distinguish, Doctor, when he declares, Man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved [Rom. 10:10]. Martin Luther replied, Here confession means perseverance, for St. Paul means to say, Faith must express itself and be confessed, and one must abide in it, otherwise faith disappears again. For it isnt as the Priscillianists taught, At home and in church confess; before tyrants deny. Accordingly here confession means perseverance in ones whole life, as Christ said, He who endures to the end will be saved [Matt. 10:22]. - Martin Luther
