Martin Luther (in his small treatise “Two Kinds of Righteousness”):

[W]henever we, on the ground of our righteousness [won/imputed by Christ], wisdom, or power, are haughty or angry with those who are unrighteous, foolish, or less powerful than we…righteousness works against rightousness, wisdom against wisdom, power against power.  For you are powerful, not that you may make the weak weaker by oppression, but that you may make them powerful by raising them up and defending them.  You are wise, not in order to laugh at the foolish and thereby make them more foolish, but that you may undertake to teach them as you yourself would wish to be taught.  You are righteous that you may vindicate and pardon the unrighteous, not that you may only condemn, disparage, judge, and punish.  For this is Christ’s example for us, as he says:  “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him” (John 3:17).
