Vorrede auf die Epistel S. Paul an die Römer - Martin Luther
Translated from German to modern English by us at www.GiveAlltheHeart.org
Luther’s
preface to the Epistle of Paul to the Romans is, after the Bible, one
of the most famous and best writings of all time.
It was written when
there was a great darkness over the world and so much of the simple
truths from the Scripture, that were so obvious for the Apostles, had
been badly darkened over the years, making them so much harder to
see.
What God showed Luther about the simple truth from the Bible,
about Righteousness by Faith, one could say was the first big step
away from the dark ages.
As
God showed this to Luther, we have found no one that better explains
this, than Luther himself did in his preface to the Epistle of Paul
to the Romans, so here we present it with Luther’s own words,
translated to modern English.
(We
have tried to be true to the original wherefore also the setup, with
scripture references, heading and subheading to the left and headings
and subheadings to the right, are placed as in the printed version of
1545.
In order to understand the message, and as smooth, modern English, tends to dim the meaning of Luther, we have used
a more German-like way of writing it, and Luther’s own style of dividing up sentences in order to stress different points.
