Therefore, Luther wanted to make clear how great the consequences of original sin are and how weak human beings are as a result. So, he taught that these remnants of original sin (after Baptism) are not, by nature, unimportant, but that we need Christ's grace so that they are not counted against us as sin. And to put them to death [mortify them], we need the Holy Spirit.
~BOC, AP, II (I), 45
