Martin Luther9 quotes
Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a-begging. — Martin Luther · 1569Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but-more frequently than not-struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God. — Martin Luther · 1569A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing.
Our helper He amid the flood

a bulwark never failing. — Martin Luther · 1529All 9 quotes →
