The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Concerning Christian Liberty by Martin Luther: by various temptations, I have attained some little drop of
faith, and that I can speak of this matter, if not with more
elegance, certainly with more solidity, than those literal and
too subtle disputants who have hitherto discoursed upon it
without understanding their own words. That I may open then an
easier way for the ignorant--for these alone I am trying to
serve--I first lay down these two propositions, concerning
spiritual liberty and servitude:--
A Christian man is the most free lord of all, and subject to
none; a Christian man is the most dutiful servant of all, and
subject to every one.
