Quote

Many sweat to reconcile St Paul and St James, but in vain. 'Faith justifies' and 'faith does not justify' contradict each other flatly. If any one can harmonize them I will give him my doctor's hood and let him call me a fool.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.
Martin Luther
Image
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
Martin Luther
Image
So great are the effectiveness and power of the Word of God that the more it is persecuted the more it flourishes and grows.
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
It is a miracle how God has so long preserved His Book! How great and glorious it is to have the Word of God!
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
Also when it is a case of only upholding some spiritual tenet, such as infant baptism, original sin, and unnecessary separation, then . . . we conclude that . . . the stubborn sectaries must be put to death.
Martin Luther
Image
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say
Martin Luther
Image
Antichrist is the pope and the Turk [Muslim] together. A beast full of life must have a body and soul. The spirit or soul of Antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk.
Martin Luther
Image
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
Image
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther
Image
A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.
Martin Luther
Image
Man is man because he is free to operate within a framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy.
Martin Luther
Image
I have always loved music whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music
Martin Luther
Image
A lie is like a snowball: the further you roll it the bigger it becomes.
Martin Luther
Image
When the Scripture speaks, God speaks
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.
Martin Luther
