uncircumcised. Jeremiah says (Cap. 6, 10.): "The Gentiles are uncircumcised according to the flesh, but Judah, Edom, Israel, who are circumcised according to the flesh, are much worse, neither are the Gentiles. 2c. 20, 1879. Daniel converted the great kings and countries of Babylon and Persia, as Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrum, Darium 2c., and yet they became Gentiles, uncircumcised, and not Jews. 20, 1882. Joseph teaches Pharaoh's king his princes and people (Ps. 105, 22.), and yet leaves them uncircumcised. 20, 1882.
Uncircumcised. That also the uncircumcised are God's people, there are plenty of examples: the Ninivites, the king of Tyre. 22, 410.
Unchrist. An unchristian is fearful in misfortune, puffed up in happiness; completely downcast and arrogant at the wrong time. 8, 1651. The faith, religion and worship of the pagans, Turks, current Jews and unchristians is always vain, uncertain, erroneous, newly invented, void, without God's word. 12, 1210. Unbelievers and pagans beat each other over the head, choke and murder for the sake of a word. But we Christians are to be kind and merciful, forgiving and giving gladly. 13, 2177.
ungrateful. We must live among ungrateful people and not be annoyed by it, nor stop doing good, whether people thank us badly for it. 12, 944. This is the best test and sign of a true good work, when those who are served by it are not only ungrateful, but also do evil for it. 12, 944 ,f. Where one finds an ungrateful heart, the desire and love that one should help and do something for the benefit of the people vanishes. 13, 2349.

Unchurched. The unchurched turn up their noses at the praise of the married state; they do not see that the command of God is attached to it. 3, 1095.
Unjust. The unrighteous must have the law laid upon them, so that they may be prevented, or they may be taught to know what they are. 9, 879. Because all kinds of filthiness and evil desire still clings to us, Scripture counts us in this respect as unrighteous and sinners who must have the law according to the flesh. 9, 881. Since there is no righteous person on earth who does not sin in doing good, the unrighteous sins much more when he does good. 18, 57.
Unrighteousness. Apart from Christ there is nothing but to love unrighteousness and not to hate the ungodly. 5, 399. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord renounces unrighteousness. 9, 1884. Unrighteousness means everything that does not follow the law of God, and includes both transgression of the spirit and of the body. 12, 122. Christ redeems us through faith from all unrighteousness, sets us free again to live divinely and heavenly. 12, 122.
uncertain. These are fables of the school theologians, who only deal with opinions that man is uncertain whether he is in the state of blessedness or not. 8, 1377. The papists teach: Even if a man is pious and righteous, he does not know whether he is in God's grace, but it remains uncertain until the last judgment. 19, 1857. The papists have taught that a man (even one who repents) must be uncertain whether he is in God's grace and whether his sins are forgiven. 20, 1639. If one does not do according to the pope's command, it shall bring him damnation; again, if one does, one shall be uncertain whether it is pleasing to God or not. 22, 1059.

Unbeliever. The unbeliever fears and is terrified of all creatures, for since God is against him, all things must also be against him. 3, 23: The devil reigns in the unbelievers so that they follow him and do not resist him. 3, 93. The unbelievers have stupid, despondent consciences. 3, 118. The unbelievers find their work and food much more sour than those who believe. 3:118 If an unbeliever could kill God, suppress the truth and erase the divine word, he would do so. 8, 250. The unbelievers are not only the gross public sinners, but much more the great saints who rely on their free will, works and piety. 9, 1020. The unbelievers follow their lusts and let the flesh take over.
Universities. Christ himself would be found by the universities to be a heretic in many things, and to have spoken against the Holy See. 4, 773. That there is no teacher in all universities today who could interpret one chapter of Paul, one psalm, is the fault of their eyes, not of the Scriptures. 6, 369. Luther
it seems good that in the lectures of the University of Wittenberg the Thomistic physics and the Thomistic logic fall, because the Scotistic physics and logic are sufficient. 21a, 120 f. Luther asks Duke John Frederick of Saxony to take care of the university so that it does not fall apart. 21a, 745 f. Luther sends Spalatin the draft for the improvement of the university. 21a, 747. Letter from Elector John and Duke John Frederick to Luther that they want to use all diligence to preserve the university. 21a, 752 f.

Luther asks the Elector John to send one of his advisors and to take care of the university. 21a, 780. Luther apologizes to the Elector John for having pressed so hard for the ordering of the university, but he had been forced to do so by circumstances. 21a, 799 f. Fulda and several rich monasteries have been universities at first, reading, preaching and working, so that the youth would be taught about God and good arts. 22, 1527.

Unchastity. Healing from unchastity must be sought from God through prayer. 3, 1289. Augustine's advice against unchastity. 3, 1289. Unchastity would like to rule in the flesh of a young man, but Christians do not obey it. 5, 389. Prince Scanderbeg especially exhorted his warriors to chastity and said that no thing so deprives joyful men of courage as unchastity. 10, 752. No one is guilty of the unchastity of the clergy except the pope, so that he has forbidden marriage to the clergy. 11, 367. There is no more abominable strengthening of the flesh and unchastity than in the monasteries. 19, 1693. What is unchastity apart from marriage, as adultery, fornication, impurity 2c., I may not betroth in the monastery, God has forbidden it to me before, laymen and monks. 19, 1867. Unchastity can be resisted by God's word and order, but the devil has it all wrong, forbidding marriage, through his governor, the end-Christ to Rom. 22, 709.
useless. That which is done without necessity and just cause is called futile and "useless. 3, 1194.
unclean. It is likely that the unclean animals are harmful and unwholesome for food and for the human body. 3, 1478 f.

Impure is everything that is best in a man who is not enlightened by the Holy Spirit, namely wisdom, religion, justice 2c. 6, 614. Spiritually, man is also unclean in this life, for he is not yet without sin, even though he has forgiveness of sins and is sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 12, 1239 f. Even in the saints there still remains weakness, impurity and sinfulness, which is to be interpreted, and yet is not imputed to them, because they are in Christ and sweep it out. 12, 485.
Unruhe, Anton. Luther thanks Anton Unruhe, judge in Torgau, for providing the poor woman Margaretha Dorsten with her rights. 21b, 2249.
Unrest. Instead of complaining that unrest is caused by the gospel, they should rather complain that the gospel is so despised. 5, 92. The nature of Christ's kingdom is that it cannot be without unrest, not through His fault, but because the devil and the world cannot stand this King. 5, 84. The teaching to
Unwise. Those who do not take a serious look at themselves to see if they are true Christians, that is, if they believe correctly, like to hear God's word and live according to it, have become unwise and unintelligent. 12, 924 f.

Union. The union of Christ and the Christians is so that Christ, the Lord, becomes one body with us through his flesh and blood. 7, 2359. The union of Christians with Christ is hidden and does not appear before the world. 7, 2360. Luther dislikes the discussion of union in doctrine altogether, since it is quite impossible, unless the pope wants his papacy to be abolished. 16, 1404. The arrival of the hooded monks who crossed the Rhine at Speier puts the doctrinal unions on track 2c. 16, 1405 f.
Understanding. Understanding means that I can judge of all things in the world what is right or wrong. 11, 2177. Hilarius says that understanding is to be taken from the causes of speech, not from the words alone. 18, 1866.
