Martin LutherWhen our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
Martin LutherIf the peasants are in open rebellion, then they are outside the law of God. Therefore let all who are able slash, strike down, and kill (those who rebel) openly and secretly, remembering that there can be nothing more venomous, harmful, or devilish than a rebel. It is exactly like killing a mad dog.
Martin LutherHe that has but one word of God before him, and out of that word cannot make a sermon, can never be a preacher.
