Gift. All that we are, live and have is God's gift; therefore he neither needs nor requires it. 5, 601. Gift is that which is given by God, who is reconciled through Christ, to the believers after forgiveness. 5, 573. Let everyone pray diligently and recognize that his house, farm, land, wife and children, money, goods and livestock are gifts from God. 3, 1822. The gifts of God are there, but it is a much greater gift to know and recognize them. 5, 415. God divides his gifts among the people of his pleasure, so that they should recognize that they have received such gifts from him, thank him for them, and use them for the benefit of their neighbor. 9, 1282 f. That a man has healthy eyes, ears, hands, feet and other limbs is not by nature or by chance, but they are all gifts of God. 13, 839. Thou shalt know that thy wife, thy children, thy household, thy goods, 2c. God's gifts, and give thanks to Him for them. 4, 1958. God gives us
bodily gifts, so that we may recognize his goodness from them and take comfort from them in other needs as well. 1, 1098. We forget our gifts, while we should say: What is it about a sack full of angry princes, kings, Turkish emperors, yes, about a sack full of devils? 6, 415 f. The highest gift is that one is a member of the right church. But beware that you do not become proud of it, for you can fall like Lucifer. 1, 448. It is a very dangerous thing when God graces a man with high, excellent gifts, lest he become proud and remain humble. 7, 650 f. The gifts we have stimulate our nature to hopefulness. 1, 440. Our nature cannot refrain from it, it must blow itself out and exaggerate its gifts, which are given to it by God, where it is not stopped by the Holy Spirit. 1, 440. The fact that we cannot recognize the great and excellent gifts of God, nor use them properly, is original sin. 1, 438. Those who are ruled by the Holy Spirit know that the more and higher gifts they have, the more they must be diligent to serve others with these gifts. 1, 985. If one is adorned before others with beautiful, high gifts, let him know that he has received them from God for this reason, that he should serve those who do not have them. 9, 1283. The higher the gifts are, the more shamefully they will be corrupted if you make an idol out of them. 7, 588. By the shameful addition that you reflect yourself in your gifts and please yourself, the same high ornament becomes more obscene than all other infirmities. 7, 588. It is a devil's bargain that we let ourselves think we are good when we see a gift in ourselves, and do not thank God for it, but become proud and despise everyone. 7, 588. Spiritual or bodily gifts of God, wisdom, understanding, art, power, wealth, money and goods, these we should use for our neighbor's benefit and betterment. 7, 1640. Whoever exalts himself in his gifts as if he had not received them, makes an idol of them, seeks only his benefit and honor. 9, 1260. God has poured out various gifts among the people, which are to be directed only so that one may serve the other with them, especially those who are in the government. 9, 1090. Let every man, as skillful and learned as he may be, use the gifts he has received to edify the body of Christ, that is, his church. 9, 1261. The comfort we Christians have is that we can say: The word is not mine, faith is not mine; all that I have is God's gift and work 2c. 9, 1268. The gift or present of God is that the Holy Spirit works in man new thoughts, mind, heart,
Gabriel. Gabriel, that is so much as Gotthart or. God's strength, who is strengthened and hardened by God. 11, 2197. Gabriel is the highest power among the angels, the highest commander in heaven, as the name implies: Gabriel, God's strength, God's power. 8, 1326. The angel Gabriel is the highest marshal of the angels, who wields the sword, therefore he is also called Gabriel, that is, God's might or power. 5, 207.
Gad. Gad means: ready for battle. 3, 471.
Galatians. It is known that the Galatians are Germans, and it is said that even today they belong to the
German language, as it is common in Saxony. 1, 657. The Galatians were brought to the right Christian faith by St. Paul, but after his departure false apostles turned them around again, so that they believed they had to be saved by the works of the law. 14, 114.
Galba. The mob killed many a fine Roman emperor simply because he did not please them or did not do their will, as happened to Galba, Pertinax, Gordian 2c. 10, 502.
Gallows. Luther had asked some from the gallows to be given life, but after a few days they had stolen again and were immediately hanged. 22, 1220.
Galilee. Galilee is called a border where the lands end. 12, 1464.
Gallus. In Paul he is counted for a bishop to whom the word is commanded, as in Bohemia Gallus is, though he carries no inful or staff. 10, 1599.
Gangra. Luther's preface to the text: "An Old Christian Concilium at Gangra in Paphlagonia, held twelve hundred years ago. 16, 2082.
Gardiner. The bishop Gardiner carries two lewd women in men's clothing around the country, after which he concludes that priestly marriage is against God's law. 17, 268.
Garizim. The mountain Garizim is, as Luther holds for it, either the rock More, or not far from it was. 1, 779.
Guest. We do not need all things on earth other than as a guest who travels overland and comes to an inn, where he must lie overnight. 9, 1154.
giving. "To give" means to give freely, for free and without money. This is how the Son is given to us. 13, 2599. Give to the poor, that the eternal tabernacle may follow you, and not that you may earn it by your giving. 1s, 1453. Mercy also means that we give to the poor.
Give to the poor and needy and come to their aid. 11, 1284. Let every man take care that he gives gladly, if he wishes otherwise, that he may be given again. 11, 1301 f. He who gives should do so out of a simple heart, not for the sake of vain honor. 10, 891. Christians are obligated to give for the right service of God. 3, 453. One cannot give so much and so abundantly to others in need that God will not give more and more abundantly. 13, 746. God is more willing to give than we are to receive. 4, 1849: Giving should be simple, that is, free of charge, in honor of God alone, not seeking favor, honor or pleasure in it, not putting one before another. 12, 337. Even if our hearts are not so inclined to give, a Christian must nevertheless be mindful of his duty of love, so that he may be cheerful in giving because of it. 22, 1794. In Pabstism, when people were led to idolatry and trust in their own self-chosen works, there was no measure nor end to giving. 2c. 22, 229. In the papacy, when people served the devil, they gave with both hands to maintain false worship; now no one wants to give anything, but only to take. 11, 1301. Because the Son is a man, what was God's is given to man. Since it is now given to man, it is also given to God. 7, 2105.
Giver. God is the highest and greatest giver, and gives in such a way that it flows from the highest virtue, love. 13, 2097.
Gebhart. God is a great Gebhart, such a giver who gives from the heart and out of causeless and divine love. 13, 2096.
Gedud. In the county of Mansfeld there is an image hewn or carved like a large groove, which is called Gedud. 2, 2031.
Gellius. Strange Words of Gellius on the Necessity of Marriage^ 1, 1733.
Genesis. In the whole of Scripture there is nothing more beautiful than the whole of Genesis. 2, 1022. Luther exhorts Veit Dietrich to continue with the work of editing Luther's lectures on Genesis. 21b, 2918 f. Luther sends Wenceslaus Link 41 chapters of his lectures on Genesis. 21b, 3061. Luther concluded his lectures on Genesis with these words (November 17, 1545): "I can no longer, I am weak; pray God for me, that he may grant me a good, blessed hour! 21b, 3129.
George. George is called in Greek a builder, who builds up country and people with right and justice, and controls and resists the enemies who want to damage them. 22, 1347 f.
George, Duke. That Luther humbled himself so much before Duke George of Saxony came from the fact that great, fine compatriots of George put him off, that it would be useful for the Gospel. 19, 416 f. Letter from Duke George of Saxony to Elector Frederick of Saxony concerning Luther's sermon on the Sacrament of the Body of Christ. 19, 450 f. Elector Frederick of Saxony's reply to Duke George. 19, 452 f. Duke George of Saxony's mandate to hand over the New Testament translated by Luther. 19, 488 ff. Duke George of Saxony's letter to Luther concerning his missive to Hartmann von Cronberg. 19, 490 f. Luther's reply to Duke George of Saxony concerning Luther's missive to Hartmuth of Cronberg. 19, 492 f. Preface of Duke George of Saxony to Emser's New Testament. 19, 494. Duke Georg complains that Luther has rejected several entire books from the New Testament and has reviled the canonical writings of the apostles as ströherne Briefe. 19, 494. Duke George's privilege for the new printing of Emser's New Testament. 19, 500 ff. Luther's Christian, heartfelt, humble letter to Duke George of Saxony. 19, 504 ff. Duke George of Saxony's harsh and unkind reply to Luther's humble letter. 19, 508 ff. Luther's letter to Nicolaus Hausmann, concerning Duke George's answer to Luther's humble letter. 19, 514 ff. Luther writes: Duke George is nonsensical, yes, more than angry. We expect daily horrible things and thunderbolts from that side. 21a, 310. Luther's answer to the Elector regarding the complaint of Duke George of Saxony about Luther's answer to his letter. 21a, 1243. The Elector requests Luther to copy and return the answer drafted for Duke George with the changes made. 21a, 1248 f. Luther indicates to Amsdorf that he will reply to Duke George on his writing. 21a, 1251 f. The Elector commands Luther to refrain from crying.
Luther also judges that Luther treated Duke George too harshly, but Luther allows that he let him get away with many things. 21s, 1257. Our people also judge that Luther has treated Duke George too improperly and harshly; but Luther lets himself think that he has let him get away with a lot. 21s, 1258. Luther thanks Amsdorf for his favorable judgment on Luther's booklet against Duke George. 21s, 1263. Luther shows the Nic. Hausmann and Wenc. Link that he will no longer answer Duke George. 21s, 1264. 1269. Duke George has written a book, through which he has brought his foolish heart to the public. Luther will answer him. 21b, 1843. D. Brück asks Luther to justify himself because of an insulting sermon against Duke George and the Archbishop of Mainz, about which a complaint had been made. 21b, 1940 f. Luther asks Chancellor Brück that the letter of Duke John of Saxony, in which he complains to the Elector about insulting Duke George 2c., be kept for his own good, as one might need it. 21b, 1944 - See also Saxony.
Gerar. Luther thinks that the "Grund Gerar" was such a valley, as in Saxony between Düben and Eilenburg, by the water called Mulde. 2, 202.
Gerard. Luther asks the council of Saalfeld to extend the scholarship for a certain Gerard. 21b, 2110 f.
Gerbet. Luther's letter to D. Nic. Gerbel in Strasbourg, in which he informs him that he had to return to Wittenberg for the sake of the destruction that had occurred there, and that he is now in danger 2c. 15, 2013 f. Luther exhorts Nic. Gerbe! to persevere in the confession of the pure doctrine, and sends him his translation of the New Testament. 21s, 477. Luther praises Nicolaus Gerbel that he and his friends have remained free of the sacramental mystery, and invites him to be a godparent to the expected child. 21s, 858.
Gerich. Luther testifies to the Bernburg council about his participation in the fate of D. Cyriacus Gerich, who has gone insane. 21b, 2329 f.
Gericke. Luther reports to the council of Göttingen that Basilius Schumann has gone to Goslar and proposes Cyriacus Gericke as preacher. 21a, 1642: Luther offers Cyriacus Gericke the position of a minister of the Word in Göttingen, who is also to be superintendent. 21a, 1643.
Germanus. How St. Germanus nullified a devil's haunting. 3, 1155.
gladly. The little word "gladly" cannot be rendered in Latin, Greek, or Hebrew; putting it together changes its meaning. 22, 1890.
Gersom. Gersom, that is, a guest. 3, 715.
Gerson. Gerson first began to attack the pope, although he was not yet certain, and was somewhat comforting to the people; he is condemned by the pope as a heretic and put under ban. 22, 867. Gerson was the first one whom God started in this last time.
Gerfonist. At Augsburg, Anno 1518, when Luther appealed from the pope to a concilium, Cardinal Cajetan called him a Gersonist. 22, 867. 929.
Gervasius. The martyrs Gervasius and Prothasius were killed secretly. 4, 771.
Gervasius, the King of France's embassy, Doctor Gervasius, publicly confesses before us that his King certainly believes that there is no marriage, no authority, no church among us Lutherans. 16, 1998.
Gifts. These two things, that one humbles oneself personally and also gives gifts, are very powerful to reconcile the hearts that are bitter. 2, 766. If one gives gifts to the opinion that one may thereby remove suspicion, envy and dissension, they are rightly counted among good works. 1, 1474. A bridegroom gives gifts to his bride in order to testify his love and to win her affection. 1, 1474. The revenues, honors and dignities of all monasteries, convents and high schools have become gifts over the innocent. 4, 952. "Gifts" comprehend in themselves the profit, the advantage, the hope and the whole insatiable maw of avarice.
3, 1508. Those who cause dissension with gifts, or bribe the judge with them and pervert the court, abuse the gifts. 1, 1474. It is honest that one abstains from gifts in evil matters and does not accept them. 1, 1474.
Gender. Men have much more shameful infirmities than the female sex, such as pride, avarice and such gross vices. 1, 1731. Reason can see no more in the female sex than weakness and unwillingness. 1, 1730.
Genealogical registers. This was the reason why the genealogical registers were kept by the godly, so that the succession in the lineage of David would be extremely certain. 4, 2108. The main point of the genealogy is that Christ is promised through the lineage of Abraham and David, therefore Matthew knowingly leaves out three members. 7, 7. Matthew wants to prove by his genealogy that Christ came for the Jews; Lucas wants to show by his genealogy that Christ belongs to all nations in the whole world. 7, 6 The evangelists wanted to show by the genealogy in a rough and comprehensible way that Christ came from Abraham and David. 7, 4. Regarding the genealogy of Christ, it should be noted that Christ wanted to be born through sinners, because He came to save sinners. 7, 7.
Gossip. Let every man keep himself or his own from evil gossip or company, for it does murderous harm. 8, 1210. It is not up to you not to let evil gossip come, but it is up to you to guard against it, not to give it room, but to ward it off where it is stirred up. 8, 1216.
You must guard against evil talk, so that you are equipped against it from God's word wherever you go or stand. 8, 4216.
Ghost. All such ghosts or visions that can be seen and heard, especially with rumbling and rumbling, are not the souls of men, but certainly of the devil. 11, 690. A Christian should judge against such a ghost, which presents itself under the name of a soul, as against the devil in the flesh and be armed with God's word and faith. 11, 690 A ghost has neither color nor thickness, length nor width, it is a vain appearance. 20, 854. That Samuel was awakened by a soothsayer or sorceress was certainly the devil's ghost. 19, 1140. The ghost of the Speier monks. 16, 1081. 1082. 1403. 1407.
Gethsemane. Gethsemane means in German: fettes Thal, Schmalzthal or Schmalzgrube. 8, 850.
Gevatter. Gevatter - co-father, because by the superior "Ge" one always designates a collection; Gewitter. 22, 1894.
Gilbert. Martinus Gibertus [Gilbert] is recommended as pastor in Liebenwerda. 17, 1161. Luther gives Martin Gilbert, preacher in Marienberg, advice on how to deal with those who have unauthorizedly deposed a preacher. 21b, 2834. Luther rebukes the clumsy expression of Martin Gilbert, which gave rise to the assumption that also the divine nature had suffered in Christ. 21b, 2985. Luther exhorts Martin Gilbert to overcome the difficulties of his ministry in patience. 21b, 3072 f.
Gilead. Gilead means a cluster of witnesses. 3, 503. There are two kinds of Gilead, in the tribe of Gad and also in Manasseh. 2, 2033. Gilead is a very famous name in the holy scriptures, is also drawn metaphorically to the city of Jerusalem. 2, 715.
Glaser. Luther prays for his good old confrere and monastic Martin Glaser. 16, 1556. Luther rejoices that Martin Glaser holds fast to pure doctrine, and exhorts him to carry out his office steadfastly and faithfully. 21a, 1343. Luther admonishes Martin Glaser to exchange the spiritual office for a secular trade. 21a, 1572 f.
Glatz. Caspar Glatz. 15, 2627. D. Glatz is not able to raise the interest in Orlamünde for the canons in Wittenberg. 15, 2629. Luther asks for the newly elected pastor of Orlamünde, D. Caspar Glatz, that the beginning of his office be postponed until Carlstadt has left Orlamünde. 21a, 649. Luther refers Caspar Glatz, pastor in Orlamünde, who is in danger of losing his parish, to the Visitator of Thuringia, Justus Menius. 21b, 2177.
God. 13, 172. This is called right faith and right humility, that one is afraid of unworthiness and yet does not despair. 13, 172. The disciples with Christ in the ship have a small faith; in this they have a help, so that they do not despair at all, but run to Christ and seek His help. 13, 178. 13, 178. The faith, though small and weak, still stands and is not frightened to death, but seeks help from the Lord Christ. 13, 179. The sighing for faith and the smallness of faith does so much that God counts it as complete faith and says: As you believe, so be it done to you. 11, 1107. Weak faith is also right faith, and must nevertheless also be heard, because the Father does what we ask of the Son. 2c. 9, 1835. Even though I am weak in faith, I still have the treasure and the same Christ that others have; we are all made perfect through faith in him. 7, 2219. Faith is a work of promise or a gift of the Holy Spirit, which is necessary for keeping the law, but it is not obtained by law and works. 22, 454. The seed of the woman, Christ, is promised to Adam and Abraham, so that faith from the beginning of Scripture may be thoroughly praised above all waking, law and merit. 14, 5. The first commandment demands such faith, since the heart places all confidence in God above all else. 13, 2484. Faith is where one believes God's promise, which he confirms with the oath, and considers it to be true. 1, 1557. Because the spirit of man remains pious and righteous through faith, God does not reckon the remaining sin of the flesh to him for condemnation. 15, 1491. "By faith into faith," that is, aps the weak faith begun on into the strong; for faith does not celebrate. 9, 1876. If we take hold of the crucified Son of God in faith, the gospel promises that we are righteous before God, even though we are sinners before ourselves and before the world. 5, 97. It is with faith as with a man who is sick and begins to grow fresh. 11, 946. The weakness and the struggle of the flesh with the spirit in the saints sufficiently testifies to how small faith still is in them. 9, 517. Because righteousness and the fulfillment of the law began through faith, what is left of sin is not counted for Christ's sake. 8, 1446.
God himself. 3, 363. Faith believes that God cannot lie and that everything he says is true, no matter how impossible it may seem. 3, 265. That God says to me: By faith and the Holy Spirit you are righteous, I will be your father, you shall be my child: in this we shall stand, that we are holy, without fear and his servants. 11, 2289. Many, when they hear of faith, take it upon themselves to obtain it from their own resources, and appropriate to themselves that which is God's alone 4c. 11, 2152. If faith is there, you already have eternal life, because faith takes hold of the Lord Christ, who is eternal life Himself. 7, 2316. If one takes hold of the Son of Mary in faith, who is also truly God, nothing so strange can be preached about him that sounds strange to us, because we believe in him. 7, 2313. This is called faith when the heart swings around in terror and temptation and turns its back on law and justice and turns to Christ and his gospel. 13, 2032. The right doctrine of faith cannot be persuaded or explained in words; the Holy Spirit must do it. 13, 519. Paul calls faith persuasion because it is a thing that cannot be proven unless it is believed by the one who persuades. 8, 1575. To open heaven and be saved belongs to faith alone and not to works. I must have the main good beforehand. 13, 2033. We are made completely blessed by faith and certain that we shall remain undamned, not for the sake of our holiness and purity, but for Christ's sake. 9, 905. We are to know that if we serve God with the service of the heart, with faith, we are His servants, priests, children and heirs, and shall sit in heaven. 13, 1606. When death comes and the rotten body becomes ashes, then faith will cease, and I will see it before my eyes. 7, 2312.
Glory and temporal nourishment. Faith also obtains bread for the body. 3, 1449. Inward faith brings with it that I also believe I will find abundantly what concerns the body. 3, 1064. Faith recognizes that God gives all food. 3, 53. Faith walks both in supply and lack on the right middle road. 3, 155. Faith in God's promise of temporal, physical goods is a great, powerful example to strengthen our faith. 14, 1906. God has placed all things in faith, that whoever has it shall have all things and be blessed; whoever does not have it shall have nothing. 19, 993. Faith has above God's grace and blessing also the promise that he shall have enough of what he needs, and makes a good, calm, cheerful heart. 11, 1317. Luther's five disputations on the saying Rom. 3, 28 [that man is justified by faith alone]. 19, 1436 ff. Luther's theological disputation that we are justified by faith alone. 19, 1474 ff. Luther's disputation on justifying faith and faith in miracles. 19, 1478 ff. What Luther considers when he preaches on faith. 22, 1848.
Gleichen, Count of. Luther responds to Count Wolfgang von Gleichen's inquiry about a church interest. 21b, 2849 f.
Gloss. Luther's gloss on the supposed imperial edict. 16, 1665 ff.
Grace. Grace is God's grace or favor, which he bears to us in himself, from which he is inclined to pour Christ and the Spirit with his gifts into us. 14, 98. Grace is the favor by which God accepts us, forgiving sins and justifying us freely by grace for Christ's sake. 5, 573. Grace is a continuing effect or exercise by which we are seized by the Spirit of God and driven to believe His promises. 5, 574. God's grace is that out of pure mercy, for Christ's sake, he forgives all our sin, wipes out all wrath, leads us from idolatry 2c. to truth 2c. 5, 1156. Mercy is that Christ has shown us all benefits, through his blood has brought us from sins to righteousness, from death to life, from the devil to God. 5, 1084. The human heart is far too narrow to grasp the ineffable grace by which we are redeemed through the blood of the Son of God. 4, 1893. It is a grace, and that is God's grace, who gives the so great treasure in Christ to the believers by grace alone and for free. 6, 482. It does not occur to me, says Luther, that I should surrender so completely to mere grace, and yet it must be so; the chair of grace must be and remain the only one. 9, 910. Even though we are uncertain, and may sometimes stumble and fall through sin and error, grace does not fall. 5, 1165. The outward signs that one is in grace are that one gladly hears, teaches, gives thanks, praises, and praises Christ.
If you want to come before God, leave such boasting at home that you have done the best for everyone, and think that you appeal to grace by right. 9, 910. 9, 910. God does not allow anyone to offer his grace except through Christ, therefore no man should dare to come before him without this mediator. 9, 987 f. 1148. The Father has poured out his grace on us so abundantly that he has allowed his only Son Christ to shed all his blood, and has given the treasure to us. 9, 1155. All men, from Adam to the end of the world, who are to come to grace and truth, must draw it and be made partakers of Christ's fullness. 7, 1682. God is gracious and merciful because of the fullness and unspeakable grace of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, because Christ is in all grace before God. 7, 1687. John says of two kinds of grace; Christ's grace is the unfathomable source of all grace; our grace is that which we draw from Him and He distributes among us. 7, 1687. John draws us away from the confidence in our work and merit and leads us to the grace of Christ and love of God, through his whole gospel and epistle. 7, 1687. This means "grace for grace", that we also please the Father for the sake of the Lord Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit through Christ and are justified. 7, 1691. The Holy Spirit is called the "Spirit of grace" because He makes us a gracious God, and because we love one another in the closest union of hearts. 14, 2141. For this reason Christ is gracious to us and helps us out of the devil's kingdom through the forgiveness of sins, so that we may abide in grace and be saved. 13, 1038. My sin and piety must remain on earth, but up there I have another treasure, where Christ sits and showers me with grace. 11, 1731. When God's wrath is gone, he takes away hell, devils, death and all misfortune, and instead of wrath he gives grace, comfort, salvation and all good that he himself is. 11, 1716. Because the sins of men are great and heavy and many, there must also be great, mighty, strong and abundant grace to destroy them all. 12, 760. Christ came to seek only sinners, that the glory might be wholly given to God, who by grace and pure mercy forgives sin. 12, 1493. It would not be and would not be called grace if We did not come to the promise unworthily and undeservedly. 13, 172. Grace is not obtained by any efforts or endeavors, even the best ones.
Grace election. If you practice faith in Christ, then you will find God, then you will be able to resolve all questions about the eternal election of grace. 2c. 6, 185. God has commanded you to love and believe; this you do, and meanwhile leave the election of grace behind. 12, 1849. - See verse.
gracious. To be gracious is as much as to pardon or to give graciously. 3, 1366. It is a great gift of the Holy Spirit to believe that God is gracious and merciful even when he sends evil. 5, 570. It is not to be suffered to preach in Christianity in such a way that we should not or could not know whether God is gracious to us or not, but the contradiction must be taught. 8, 515.
Gnanstein. Luther writes to Spalatin about the filling of the Gnanstein parish. 21a, 1205.
Göde. The provost, D. Henning Göde, has died. 15, 2495. Doctor Henning Göde, a lawyer and provost of the cathedral of Wittenberg, did not know much about our Lord God. 22, 214. 218. How Doctor Henning Göde wanted to teach the Elector Frederick the Wise how to keep house. 5, 814.
Gog. Gog means roof. Therefore, Gog is considered to be the Scythians, who do not live in houses, but in huts or tents. 1, 658. There is no doubt that Gog is the Turk who came from the land of Gog, or the Tartars, in Asiam, as the Histories prove. 20, 2165.
Gold. The gold, which has been given to the idolatrous mass priests, we put to the right use and distribute it among the godly teachers and servants of the gospel. 2, 926. Those who can make gold from copper are thought to be sorcerers and black-hearted, but good and experienced artists can do it. 7, 2083.
Goldseckel. A gold coin is ten local florins, which is three and a half florins. 3, 380.
Gomer. Gomer means one who concludes and ends a thing, or a completion. 1, 664.
Göritz. Luther invites Margaretha Göritz to be godmother to his newborn daughter. 21a, 1295 f.
Goerlitz. Luther advises Martin Görlitz to leave, because he cannot tolerate the climate in Brunswick, and promises to look for a position for him. 21a, 1700. Luther asks Martin Goerlitz in Brunswick to oppose Johann Campanus, and gives him hope for a call to Saxony soon. 21a, 1716. Luther calls Martin Görlitz from Brunswick to Kahla near Jena. 21a, 1719.
Gosen. Gosen seems to have been a very fertile and fat land. 2, 1794. Gosen seems to have been the place where they built Raemses afterwards, where they also moved out. 2, 1794. Some say that the land Gosen was the same that they call Thebais. 2, 1713.
Goslar. Luther recommends the preachers of Goslar to Amsdorf. 21a, 1314.
Gostorf. Luther proposes the Lord Michael or the Gostorf for the congregation in Döbeln. 21b, 2373.
God. God has from the beginning indicated the high article that One God is, and yet more than One Person. 3, 201. Within God is one being, and three persons, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, not three gods. 7, 2154. It is evident to the Gentiles that there is one God, and they recognize God from the works of creation, for the law of nature is known to them all. 7, 1703. There is a great difference between knowing that there is a God and knowing what or who God is. The first knows nature, the other teaches the Holy Spirit alone. 14, 859. We Christians not only know how the Creator is to be reckoned against the creature, but also know from Scripture what God is in Himself 2c. 7, 2154. 7, 2154. We say and affirm
The Jews and the Turks know better than the Jews and the Turks that there is only one God, who, counting the creatures, created everything. 7, 2154. The truth of Christian faith passes through the middle, teaches and confesses in God unmixed persons and undivided nature. 11, 162. It is not the opinion that the Father alone is the creator, the Son alone the redeemer and the Holy Spirit alone makes holy, but all three persons, so that only one God is. 12, 655 f. In baptism we are baptized in the one, unified name of God, and yet Christ commands to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 12, 655. That God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one God is incomprehensible; one should not argue about this, but be content that God speaks of himself in this way in his word. 12, 652. We do not worship three gods, as the Turks and Jews mock us, but one God, which the Scriptures present as three persons, and yet only one God. 12, 651. The Scripture also leads us into God's inner being and shows that in it there are three persons, but not three gods or deity, but one single, undivided, divine being. 12, 632. There are not three gods, but of all three persons there is one Godhead. There are not three names, but one name of one divine being. 13, 2072. Whatever person of the Godhead one calls, one has called the right, true God. 13, 2692. The words: "I am your God" mean: I am a helper in distress, who gives all good. 3, 1727 f. Since God lets you say, "I am your God," there is no need for you to run to another. 3, 1727. Where it is not believed that God is a natural Father, a natural Son, and both have a natural Holy Spirit in the one divine being, God is nothing and no God at all. 3, 1933. The Father is God and Father of us all, likewise the Son, likewise the Holy Spirit, and yet is no more than one God our Father. 3, 1928. The Father is the origin or source of the Godhead, from whom the Son has it, and the Holy Spirit from the Son and Father in eternity. 3, 1927. I do not make another or several gods, but say: that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one and the same God. 5, 456. God has made himself known in his word and said that he is the eternal father of our Lord Jesus Christ, whom he has given as mediator. 2c. 12, 1203. We Christians believe that God became man, because God's word says it. 7, 1616. There is only one God, and Jesus Christ with God the Father is one creator and sustainer.
God looks first at the person and the man, and then at the work he does. 3, 109. 3, 109. God has pleasure and love for those who believe in him. 3, 306. God takes care of each one in particular, more than a father of his child. 3, 1041. It is God who does all good and helps out of trouble; not always by himself, but all kinds of his means also come into play. 3, 1730. God looks upon us, inquires after us and is anxious to help us. 3, 986. We should surely turn to God, that he will not let us perish, neither in body nor soul. 22, 76. The preached God deals with it, that he may take away sin and death and that we may be saved. 18, 1795. God helps more and better than we can ever desire. 3, 236. God does not help so soon, so that his grace, work and word may be known all the better and prove that he can help even in death. 3, 442. God forgives in order to strengthen faith. 3, 220 f. God tempts faith, infuses it, and makes it long, so that we take off the old skin and cling to the bare word. 3, 227. When we think that God has forgotten us, he comes in due time and helps. 3, 486. God finally delivers the Christians from adversity and overthrows the wicked with their raging. 3, 690. God opposes his own as if he wanted to abandon them, but he comforts them again and helps them out of the persecution. 3, 691. If God shows Himself to us differently than as a father, He does so because He wants to abandon them. He does it so that he may break our hope and make us humble. 22, 99. God is a God of those who are in the greatest distress and misery; otherwise one does not call upon him, because one is in distress or in death. 3, 1773. "To be of God" means that one is guided by God's word and does not like to think, speak and hear what is against God. 13, 291. He is of God who has hope in God that he may be cleansed by Him from all his sins. 9, 1581. To have God is: to have all grace, all mercy, and everything that can be called good. 9, 1346. If I have God: In spite of all sin, in spite of death, in spite of all devils that they harm us, for God fights for me, protects and shields me; this is given to me in Christ. 20, 40. No one can have One God unless he clings to Him alone and trusts Him alone. 3, 1423. In matters concerning God, we should not look to anyone, be it father, mother, prince 2c., for there is another Lord and higher authority, which is called God. 13, 149. Having a God is nothing else than trusting and believing in Him from the heart. 10, 32. God wants you to believe in him.
But he is well able to suffer us to love him for his promise and to ask him for physical and spiritual goods, and to fear him for the sake of punishment. 22, 1118 f. If a man looks to God as the foremost finite cause, who gives everything freely, out of pure grace, without our merit, it does him no harm if he also looks to the eternal punishment and reward. 22, 1119. God gives certain promises, but reserves time, person and manner. 3, 97. God allows his own to be afflicted in many ways and to live poor and miserable, but he makes the wicked fat, fat and full. 1, 860. God does not punish the hundredth part, to be counted against the benefits he bestows upon us. 3, 1066. God's order is that he first afflicts and terrifies, then comforts and restores the heart. The devil reverses this order. 3, 1052. Our Lord God first terrifies, then comforts again; the devil first makes people secure and bold, so that they sin without any fear, then he supports them in despair. 22, 86 f. God spares the wicked for the sake of the pious, and when he punishes, he punishes the wicked. 1, 893. When God starts to torture us, he has it good in mind with us. 3, 606. What God wants to make honorable, he puts to shame before. 3, 600. God leaves nothing unsmelted, however slowly he punishes. 3, 626. God descends when he reveals himself, either inwardly in the heart or outwardly through a work. 3, 202. God descends to us from heaven through the incarnation, suffering and death of Christ; we cannot and should not ascend. 3, 814 f. God comes to us when he afflicts us with good, or punishes us. 3, 202. When God wants to convert a man from sins, he first leads him into terror and fear. 3, 81. God deals neatly with the woman, absolves her from the sorrow of the soul and puts the punishment on the body. 3, 85. God puts a lot of punishment on the believers and attacks them harshly; the punishment is only on the body and goods, the soul he saves. 3, 90. God means it best when he punishes us in the most shameful way. 3, 575. When God wants to destroy the world, he removes his hand and lifts up his word, so that everyone goes in his delusion. 3, 140. There is no greater wrath than when God is silent and does not speak to us, but lets us go in our mind and nature and do as we please. 22, 88. God gives us his grace and all goods out of pure goodness and love; we should do the same toward our neighbor. 3, 94. God cannot suffer hopeful people to rise up and condemn other people. 3, 112. The words:
God repented that he had made men, show how the hearts of the ancient holy fathers stood. 3, 142. God cannot and will not speak otherwise than through men. 3, 761. God in his majesty cannot be comprehended, therefore he has presented such things to us, which we can comprehend and understand. 1, 488. The prophets, when they speak of God, do not speak of God in and of himself, but as he is clothed with an outward service of God 2c. 6, 246 f. God presents his image to us so that we can take hold of him, as, baptism, sacrament of the altar, absolution and preaching ministry. 1, 488. God shows Himself to us in visible forms, deals with us through them, puts these forms before us, so that we do not become erroneous and frivolous spirits 2c. 1, 488.. God lets Himself down in such a form, in which we can grasp and understand Him, and shows Himself in parables, as in shells, according to childlike simplicity. 1, 487. God has no measure or law, why he enlightens this one, or why he hardens that one. 3, 812. Those who measure God's work with reason cannot understand it. 3, 269. God in his works is not to be measured, judged or judged, but he is to measure and judge everything. 3, 818 f. One should deal with God who has revealed himself and speaks to us, but the God who is silent and hidden in his majesty should be left alone. 22, 1061. God's work and way is: whom he wants to lift up, he first presses down; whom he wants to overthrow, he first lifts up. 3, 186. We must leave God in his majesty and in his nature unexplored, because in this we have nothing to do with him. 18, 1795. When God says, says or does something, you should fall on your knees and neither ask nor say anything else, but do what he says and let yourself like what he does. 13, 106. 1532. If anyone wants to know what God's attitude is toward us, let him begin below and first learn what he has done here on earth and how he has revealed himself to us humans. 13, 133 All things are given and provided by God in one penny. 3, 643. How God does it with others, we should not worry about that, but we should hear Christ, as God the Father commands us from heaven. 1, 1084. One should neither inquire nor ask about the causes of God's will, just as one should not inquire about the causes of His wisdom, omnipotence and goodness. 1, 1082. The Scripture paints God as a man before us, so that we may beware of the forwardness of human reason and wisdom, which wants to inquire into the majesty. 1, 1536. The Scripture speaks of God as a man, that he rejoices, deceives and suffers like a man.
God of this world, the. Then the god of this world is worshipped, if one teaches lies instead of the gospel, faith and commandments of God, as, monk rule, man commandments, decrees and statutes, 2c. 12, 1295. 12, 1295. What the black devil could not do with the sword and the angelic devil with the Scriptures, the God of this world has finally accomplished 2c. 12, 1295.
Gods. The son gets the father's name and property, therefore all are called gods who have God's word. 3, 761. Preachers, parents and disciplinarians are gods, to be counted against their hearers, children, servants and disciples. 3, 1724. The authorities, princes and judges are called gods in Scripture because they serve others in their state and are those through whom God helps and benefits. 3, 1723 f. Other gods are not merely an external idol, but a delusion that one invents for oneself of the true God. 3, 1477. To have other gods and to make idols means and is to set up new divine services, as those do who abandon the faith and fear of God 2c. 22, 402. "To honor other gods" means to disbelieve and act against the true God. 3, 1453. mo-
He forbids his people very strongly to beware of people who have foreign gods and not to have fellowship with them. 3, 1767. The pagans have made gods out of kings, and the Jews have also wanted to make Moses a god. 3, 1724. God is able to preserve death-beaters, thieves, murderers, and, if they repent, to make them blessed; but he does not make blessed those who honor another god. 9, 1653. Under the papacy, various gods were made; every disease and every need had its own helper and god. 3, 1722. If you believe that by the cap or plate, by poverty 2c. God is worshipped, then this delusion is your god. 3, 1477.
Gottesacker. From time immemorial, we Germans have called the burial ground Gottesacker, because what we now call churchyards were not burials in the first place. 11, 1867.
Godliness. Godly scholarship wants to have a mind that earnestly and simply seeks and loves God's word. 18, 2011. Spalatin said against Luther that the holy doctrine of God could be taught without offending the popes 2c. 19, 1777.
God's people. Only as far as Israel dwells and their land reaches, the people should be called God's people, the others should all be called godless Gentiles. 3, 1861. The Jews are most bitterly and grimly angry that we say they are no longer God's people, but we are God's people. 3, 1867.
God's dwelling place. God's dwelling and place is called every place where God's word is preached and reigns. 3, 781.
Godhead. We confess that it is so in the Godhead that the word is spoken by the Father and the Holy Spirit consents to it; that there is one Third, and yet only One 2c. 7, 2154. 7, 2154. There remains one eternal essence or Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, only in distinct persons. 8, 687. The deity of Christ was not born to us, for he did not come by it for our sake; from eternity he has it for himself from the Father, but it is given to us, it shall also be ours. 11, 1995. Even though the Godhead does not suffer and
Göttingen. Luther promises to send two preachers to the Göttingen council, for whom he demands a good salary. 21a, 1609. Luther sends to the pastors of Göttingen the church order 2c that he had overlooked and promoted for printing. 21a, 1630 f. Luther sends the printed church order to the council of Göttingen and reports that Basilius Schumann will not come to them. 21a, 1631 f.
Göttingen. Luther complains to Johann Sütel about the meagerness of the Göttingen against the preachers to be hired. 21a, 1632 f.
godless. A godless person is one who lives without faith, even though he leads a respectable outward life. 9, 1751. This is actually called an ungodly being, who seems to be pretty on the outside, but his heart is full of unbelief. 9, 1751. Ungodly being, that is, hypocrisy of works. 4, 1593. Where godlessness, unfaithfulness, unbelief reigns, there also reigns malice and wickedness at the same time. 4, 404. The prophet speaks in the spirit, where also that is ungodly, which is considered to be the most godly in the eyes of men. 4, 227. God has eradicated the godless kings Jeroboam, Ahab, Joram, Ahaziah; likewise among the pagans Julius, Nero, Domitianus 2c. 5, 725. No pestilence on the bodies is so contagious as godless doctrine for the souls. 4, 225. The power of godless teaching is very great when hearts are poisoned with it from youth. 5, 487.
Godless, the. The one who is without faith in Christ is a godless one. 4, 244. Every man without Christ is a godless one. 4, 227. St. Hilarius rightly calls the one who has an evil opinion of God a godless one. 4, 223. Paul casts all men under the wrath of God, proclaiming all to be ungodly and unrighteous. 18, 1916. An ungodly person is actually called one who does not trust in God nor believe; who lives by himself and his free will still in nature. 5, 8. 317. The ungodly lack that their heart is unclean, that they have no faith, know nothing of God. 3, 1062. The wicked are those who rule themselves, do not want to suffer God's rule, do not walk differently than according to their own will. 4, 1678. The ungodly do not believe that through the resurrection of Christ the faith that fulfills the law is given to us. 3, 1615.
The ungodly are not satisfied with being ungodly, but want to add the appearance of godliness to their ungodliness. 4, 227. The godless consider it a godly zeal when they hate those by whom they are hurt, or rather think they are hurt. 4, 412. The wicked often have from God much more beautiful, high gifts and skill in worldly things, which one cannot do without in the home or in the regiment. 5, 836. God also casts among the ungodly high reason, wisdom, languages, oratory, that his Christians are to be regarded as children, fools 2c. against them. 5, 857. The wicked boast of God that he alone is the God of the righteous, and that he makes no one blessed but the righteous, and condemns no one but sinners. 4, 1013. The wicked want to cast Christ and his kingdom away and suppress them. 4, 1362. The ungodly are: Popes, bishops, priests, monks, doctors and the like, who by nature must rage against the holy gospel. 5, 8. The wicked have their own preaching, that is, their own dreams, as they wash from day and night. 4, 1358. The wicked most stubbornly boast that they have God as their Lord, and at the same time they reject him in his servants and in his words with frightening arrogance. 4, 833. The wicked, the cursers, the blasphemers and the proud remember the name of the Lord, but not in truth and righteousness. 4, 645. The ungodly are martyrs of the devil, evildoers, children of disobedience under the garb and appearance of godliness, whose power they deny. 4, 411. The ungodly have always been exceedingly intolerant of God's word, and have filled heaven with martyrs. 4, 227 f. The wicked are blasphemers; they call the kingdom of grace and peace a yoke, and their salvation and life a death. 4, 1363. God knows the ways of the ungodly, and before Him they are not in the number of those who are His church. 4, 250. When the ungodly hear the doctrine of faith and yet see that the pious are in evil, they conclude that this doctrine is void. 6, 342. The wicked do not want to believe, but feel the help; therefore they despise the teaching of faith and seek the arm of the flesh. 6, 78. When we teach that nothing justifies but faith alone, the wicked set aside works. 5, 1495. When we teach that faith must be attested by works, the ungodly immediately add justification to works. 5, 1495. Because the ungodly are unbelievers, they also do not do good works. 4, 224. The Corruption of the Unbeliever
or the turning away of his person from God makes that he cannot be moved and driven in a good way. 18, 1835. An ungodly person must always err and sin because, being moved by the impulse of divine power, he is not allowed to be inactive. 18, 1835. The omnipotence of God causes that the ungodly cannot escape the movement and action of God, but obeys it as a necessary subject. 18, 1835. The wicked are to be found primarily among those who are secure in their lives and rely on them, and before whose eyes is no fear of God. 4, 228. It is peculiar to the wicked that they do not fear God, but rely on His mercy for everything. 4, 228. The wicked purify themselves from the smallest sins, that is, from those that are done through the body; the greatest sins, which are done with the soul, they do not consider. 4, 1171. The wicked tend to draw the promises of God to themselves, and because they insist on them, they despise and ridicule all threats. 1, 497. Since the ungodly are not grieved and brokenhearted by the threats, the promises are not effective with them either. 6, 1441. When the wicked hear the threats of God, they think that they are not affected by them and persist in their wickedness, which they consider to be the highest godliness. 6, 1441. The wicked martyre themselves with works and leave God's counsel in abeyance. 5, 1455. The wicked do great works before the world, but before God it is ashes and dust. 4, 1360. The wicked strongly urge that good works be taught, even though they do not yet know what good works are. 4, 410. The wicked receive much from God, gather and borrow from him, and yet do not pay him for giving to the poor. 5, 321. The wicked, in arrogance, are wont to suppress the godly doctrine contemptuously and to set up their own with glory. 4, 829. The wicked make themselves believe that they are doing God a service by strengthening their boastful and false tongues. 4, 829. The wicked often pretend to be so spiritual and boast as if they were more pious than any saints. 3, 840. The ungodly think they are fighting for godliness by persistently accusing the rightly godly of ungodliness. 4, 228. The godless worship is commonly apparent and glittering. 3, 1710. The ungodly cast the word that God pronounces against them, that he has an abomination against them, on others in constant nonsense. 4, 412 f. The ungodly trust in their apparent works and always have in mind
Godlessness inherent in the heart, namely contempt for God and neighbor. 6, 83. Wickedness remains the same at all times, that is, obstinate, obdurate and incorrigible. 6, 1211.
Gottschalk. Luther joyfully answers Heino Gottschalk, Abbot of Oldenstedt, in the affirmative to his question of whether or not a certain abbot should leave the monastery. 21a, 1107 f.
godly. May others still be godless, we want to thank God that he gives peace and godly teachers who govern the churches with the word. 4, 1841. Those who live godly must in turn be blessed by God, so that it may go well with them here in this life and there in the Kingdom of Heaven. 3, 688.
Godly, the. A godly person is the one who lives by faith, a godless person is the one who lives by unbelief. 4, 224. Godly, graceful people are those who do not walk and trust in reason and nature, but only in God's grace 2c. 12, 113. The godly are too afraid of the name of God; the ungodly despise it too much out of security; hence it comes that one finds different sermons in the Scriptures. 6, 603. Only the godly can live contentedly with what is there, because they know that God is the giver and regent of all good, spiritually and physically. 4, 1947. Only the godly have the grace to be content with the present and to use it with thanksgiving and joy. 5, 1467. The godly have in truth the earthly realm, for they enjoy it with joy and tranquility. 5, 1425. The godly suffer the divine judgment, recognize their sin and damnation; therefore, when they hear the promises, they turn to the mercy of God. 6, 1441. The godly should have good faith in the greatest weakness and when they are oppressed. 6, 516. Whoever thinks that the godly must be completely without all lack, and yet feels the opposite, is finally consumed by the spirit of sadness. 2c. 9, 689. The godly have tribulations in the world, but peace in Christ, because they believe that he has overcome the world. 9, 608. This is the comfort and hope of the godly, that our blessedness and glory is not sought in this life, but we long for a better life. 2, 1237. All the godly before the future of Christ had the faith that they could not be saved by the works of the law, but through Christ, who was promised to Abraham. 9, 776. God showers the blessed with many goods also in this life, but their most distinguished reward is eternal life.
Godliness. Godliness does not concern life, but the attitude that is the source of conduct. 4, 223. Godliness is nothing other than service to God; service to God is, of course, serving one's neighbor. 10, 2018. We should learn that godliness has the cross and tribulation as companions forever. 6, 342. Godliness considers even the greatest dangers to be nothing, and considers the word of God to be the power of God. 3, 1. 387. As godliness by its nature brings with it the fear of God, so godlessness and hypocrisy bring security. 3, 1609. True godliness, because it knows that it serves Christ, suffers outwardly, but it overcomes the fear of God.
Götz. Luther and Bugenhagen recommend M. Johann Götz as schoolmaster to Lauterbach. 21b, 2529 f.
Gotzel. Luther asks Spalatin for the pastor Wolfgang Gotzel, who has been expelled by his nobleman. 21b, 2000 f. If Spalatin's use with the Elector for the preacher Wolfgang Gotzel does not help much, Luther's intercession will follow. 21b, 2071.
Gratian. Gratian wanted to compare the unequal sayings of the fathers and conciliarities and to tolerate the repugnant ones; he succeeded, as the crab goes. 16, 2156. Either out of flattery or out of service to the popes, Gratian either declares the best sayings and decrees of the fathers invalid or falsifies them according to the will of the popes. 14, 383.
Gratz. Luther asks the Elector to hire Stephan Gratz as pastor in Schwanbeck. 21a, 1023.
Grau. Luther asks for the pastor of Cranach, Johannes Grau. 15, 2635. Luther asks Baron Joh. von Schwarzenberg for his use with the Bishop of Bamberg for the pastor [Grau] of Kranach, who has taken a wife. 21a, 449 f. Luther sends Johann Grau, at the request of Duke Johann, to preach in Weimar. 21a, 609 f.
Greffenstein. Luther heard from his Jnstitutor, Johann Greffenstein, that Hus had been executed without instruction, without proof, without overcoming. 1b, 1422.
Gregory of Nazianz. Gregory of Nazianzus, St. Hieronymi Preceptor, writes: If I am to speak the truth, I hold that all bishops' concilia should be fled. 16, 2247. The Histories teach us finely that it is true, since Gregory of Nazianzus says: he has not seen a good end of the Concilia. 16, 2247.
Gregory, St. In St. Gregory's time there was no pope, and he himself along with his ancestors did not want to be a pope. 17,
Gregory VII, Hellbrand, a larva of the devil. 14, 694.
Greeks. Cicero says of the Greeks that they are learned, wise, skillful, eloquent people, but faithfulness and belief are not respected by the people. 5, 879.
Greece. The gospel was eradicated in Greece by Mahomet and the Turks, because Christ stopped preaching there, because of the ingratitude and contempt of the gospel. 5, 1029.
Greek. Plautus says in one person: What I am to have in the house, I must buy in Greek good faith, that is, I must pay it over in cash. 5, 879.
