• Man-like is it to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein; Christ-like is it for sin to grieve, God-like is it all sin to leave.

    Friedrich von Logau: Man-like is it to fall into sin, 
Fiend-like is it to dwell therein; 
Christ-like is it for sin to grieve, 
God-like is it all sin to leave.
