Quote

An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.
Martin Luther
Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
Two devils rose from the water, and flew off through the air, crying, 'Oh, oh, oh!' and turning one over another, in sportive mockery.
Martin Luther
Image
One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
Martin Luther
Image
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
I only ask in all kindness that the man who wishes at this time to have my books will by no means let them be a hindrance to his own study of the Scriptures, but read them as I read the orders and the ordures of the pope and the books of the sophists.
Martin Luther
Image
The two chief things are faith and love. Faith receives the good love gives the good. Faith offers us God as our own love gives us to our neighbor as his own.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever we make the most of is our God.
Martin Luther
Image
How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
Martin Luther
Image
Godly people are waiting for the Lord therefore they live, therefore they are saved, therefore they receive what has been promised.
Martin Luther
Image
If men only believe enough in Christ they can commit adultery and murder a thousand times a day without periling their salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
Women should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children...If a woman grows weary and, at last, dies from childbearing, it matters not. Let her die from bearing - she is there to do it.
Martin Luther
Image
I did nothing. The Word did it all.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit is no skeptic. He has written neither doubt nor mere opinion into our hearts, but rather solid assurances, which are more sure and solid than all experience and even life itself.
Martin Luther
Image
I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without him.
Martin Luther
Image
Father and Mother are apostles, bishops and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
The Devil...clutched hold of the miserable young man...and flew off with him through the ceiling, since which time nothing has been heard of him.
Martin Luther
Image
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Martin Luther
Image
If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther
