And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Daniel 11:33-----"Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. Amen." Luther, Reply to the Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521

Theological writings of Luther

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection... Romans 6:3-6

"The Translation of the Bible into German
During his imprisonment by the Elector of Saxony, prince Frederick
the Wise at Wartburg Castle, Luther translated the New Testament into German. It was his first great achievement. It was published in 1522, prefaced by Luther and illustrated by
Lucas Cranach. Luther completed his translation of the Bible in 1534. The large diffusion of Luther’s translation, thanks to printing, made it available to German speakers and contributed to establishing the German Language.

Sermons
Luther left many sermons on different subjects mostly in German: Seven sermons delivered in 1522 in Wittenberg on the connection between faith and love for our neighbor ;
On double justice, Luther opposed that of Christ’s to ours ;
On how to contemplate Christ’s holy sufferings;
On marital status;
On prayer and processions during Rogation week;
On preparing for death;
On the sacrament of penance;
On the holy and venerable sacrament of baptism;
On the very venerable sacrament of Christ’s body and on brotherhoods;
On usury;
On the New Testament."
