Martin Luther, Helmut T. Lehmann (1986). “Luther's Works: Lectures on Galatians”

The devil is not only a liar, but also a murderer, he constantly seeks our life, and wreaks his anger whenever he can afflict our bodies with misfortune and harm. Hence it comes that he often breaks men's necks or drives them to insanity, drowns some, and incites many to commit suicide, and to many other terrible calamities. Therefore there is nothing for us to do upon earth but to pray against this arch enemy without ceasing. For unless God preserved us, we would not be safe from him even for an hour.

‎What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God.

But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing; though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine.

Men, Yield, Race

Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise.
