Now since both, the water and the Word, make one Baptism, therefore body and soul must be saved and live forever. The soul lives through the Word, which believes, but the body lives because it is united with the soul and also holds on through Baptism as it is able to grasp it. We have, therefore, no greater jewel in body and soul. For by Baptism we are made holy and are saved. No other kind of life, no work upon earth, can do this.
~BOC, LC, IV, 46
