God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin LutherI put the Scriptures above all the sayings of the fathers, angels, men and devils. Here I take my stand.
Martin LutherBut know that to serve God is nothing else than to serve your neighbor and do good to him in love, be it a child, wife, servant, enemy, friend....If you do not find yourself among the needy and the poor, where the Gospel shows us Christ, then you may know that your faith is not right, and that you have not yet tasted of Christ's benevolence and work for you.
Martin Luther
