"From this[below] it is clear how correctly Scripture calls such iniquity their own “inventions” in Ps. 81:12: “They shall walk in their own inventions,” because the things established and desired are their own. But this is spiritual idolatry, not to be still but rather to fight back, and this is the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit, because it is precisely through pride of the spirit that grace is resisted. Pride refuses to give in to God, but prefers to yield to itself."
| To prefer | inanimate things things of feeling things of reason | to God is | great greater the greatest | iniquity. |
| This is produced by | greed. wantonness. pride. | |||
| And these three are in the world | the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16) | |||
