For, where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel... In such sort… — Martin Luther
For, where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel... In such sort is the devil always God's ape.
In the original German
Denn wo unser Herr Gott eine Kirche bauet, da bauet der Teufel eine Kapelle hintennach...Also ist der Teufel allezeit unsers Herrn Gottes Affe.
