There is no gown or garment that worse becomes a woman than when she will be wise.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

When I am assailed with heavy ...

When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which

Our works do not generate righteousness, rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

A man would have to be an idiot to write a book of laws for an apple tree telling it to bear apples and not thorns, seeing that the apple-tree will do it naturally and far better than any laws or teaching can prescribe.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Power without love is reckless...

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

God wants our conscience to be...

God wants our conscience to be certain and sure that it is pleasing to Him. This cannot be done if the conscience is led by its own feelings, but only if it relies on the Word of God.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

The will of man without grace ...

The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

If any man doth ascribe of sal...

If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

All the passages in the Holy S...

All the passages in the Holy Scriptures that mention assistance are they that do away with 'free-will', and these are countless...For grace is needed, and the help of grace is given, because 'free-will' can do nothing.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

It is false that the will, lef...

It is false that the will, left to itself, can do good as well as evil, for it is not free, but in bondage...On the side of man there is nothing that goes before grace, unless it be impotency and even rebellion.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

A man who has no part in the g...

A man who has no part in the grace of God, cannot keep the commandments of God, or prepare himself, either wholly or in part, to receive grace; but he rests of necessity under the power of sin.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

As long as a man is persuaded ...

As long as a man is persuaded that he can make even the smallest contribution to his salvation, he remains self-confident and does not utterly despair of himself, and so is not humbled before God. Such a man plans out for himself a position, an occasion, a work, which shall bring him final salvation, but which will not.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Does it follow from: 'turn ye'...

Does it follow from: 'turn ye' that therefore you can turn? Does it follow from ''Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart' (Deut 6.5) that therefore you can love with all your heart? What do arguments of this kind prove, but the 'free-will' does not need the grace of God, but can do all things by its own power....But it does not follow from this that man is converted by his own power, nor do the words say so; they simply say: 'if thou wilt turn,telling man what he should do. When he knows it, and sees that he cannot d

Even like as St. Paul was converted, just so are all others converted; for we all resist God, but the Holy Ghost draws the will of mankind, when he pleases, through preaching.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

God foreknows nothing by conti...

God foreknows nothing by contingency, but that He foresees, purposes, and does all things according to His immutable, eternal, and infallible will. By this thunderbolt, 'Free-will' is thrown prostrate, and utterly dashed to pieces.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

The saved are singled out not ...

The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Scripture is the manger in which we find the Christ child.

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 1073 quotes

Every doer of the law and ever...

Every doer of the law and every moral worker is accursed, for he walketh in the presumption of his own righteousness.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.
