Luther quotes

“From this commandment [4^th] we teach that there after the excellent works of the first three commandments there are no better works then to obey and serve all those who are set in authority over us. This is why disobedience is a sin worse than murder, and chastity, theft, dishonesty, and all that goes with them.” Martin Luther, Treatise on Good Works, LW, AE, 44:80-81
