Who can be afraid of him who is overcome, bound and imprisoned? He may rage, do abominable things, bite the chains and gnash his teeth, but he can do no harm except to himself. So the world, the devil, sin and death are also to be seen by us Christians, for they are overcome. O Lord, help us to believe, amen.
