Translation Comparison
Quote by Martin Luther
English (Source)
As the work and honor of the divine service consists in making true saints out of sinners, out of the damned, into the happy, out of the servants of the devil, into God, so the work and honor of secular power consists in making men out of wild animals and keeping them from the wild. . She defends everyone's body and allows no one to harm it; she defends everyone's life, so that no one can take it from them dishonestly; she protects everyone's child, so that no one can take it away from them; she defends every house and court, so that no one can enter there and do any damage; she protects each one's land, cattle, property of every kind, so that no one can steal them or cause damage. This is the difference between humans and animals.
