"...we are not justified by our works but by faith, since our fleshly weakness is an impediment to our works, but the clarity of faith which merits the forgiveness of sins overcomes the error of our works."
-St Ambrose of Milan, 4th Century AD (De Jacob et vita beata, ch. 2, as quoted in Loci Theologici, Vol. II, p. 543; also quoted in Examination of the Council of Trent, Part I, p. 508)
What? You mean Martin Luther didn't invent "Justification by Faith"? Who knew?
