2 von Loewenich, Walther, Luthers Theologia crucis (München, 1954), 110–15Google Scholar, is the only writer I could discover who treats promissio in more than cursory fashion relative to iustificatio. Gyllenkrok, Axel, Rechtfertigung und Heiligung (Uppsala, 1952)Google Scholar, circa p. 74, treats of promissio in Romans, but in connection with certainty and not with justification/confession.

26 A comparison of the student notes on the entire passage 3:2–7 (57.146–152) indicates that Luther's lectures are basically from the second exegesis, with only the “harmless” material (56,212.10–213.10; 214.23–27; 215.9–13), devoid of references to confession as a precondition, read in from the first exegesis!
