Luther: spite the devil

We must reject the law when it seeks to affright the conscience, and when we feel God's anger against our sins, then we must eat, drink, sleep, and be cheerful to spite the devil.  But human wisdom is more inclined to understand the law of Moses, then the law of the gospel.  Old Adam will not out.
Tabletalk 279
