路德本人論及婚姻( “The Estate of Marriage” (1522) ),相當明確地表明了康牧
師公開教導過的觀點:
「因此要知道,婚姻是個外在的、屬身體的東西,就像任何其它世上的事務。就像我可以
跟一個異教徒、猶太人、突厥人、異端人士共同吃喝、夜宿、行路、騎馬、買他的東西、
跟他說話、與他交易,我也可以跟他結婚,並與他共同持續這段婚姻。不要理會那些禁止
它(與非基督結婚)的蠢蛋的教條。你會發現很多基督徒,事實上絕大多數的基督徒,在
他們隱藏的不信上,比任何猶太人、異教徒、突厥人,或異端份子更糟糕。一個異教徒,
跟聖彼得、聖保羅、聖露西一樣,都是上帝美善創造中的男人或女人,且不要說一個慵懶
虛偽的基督徒」(英譯: “Know therefore that marriage is an outward, bodily
thing, like any other worldly undertaking. Just as I may eat, drink, sleep,
walk, ride with, buy from, speak to, and deal with a heathen, Jew, Turk, or
heretic, so I may also marry and continue in wedlock with him. Pay no
attention to the precepts of those fools who forbid it. You will find plenty
of Christians, and indeed the greater part of them, who are worse in their
secret unbelief than any Jew, heathen, Turk, or heretic. A heathen is just as
much a man or a woman-God’s good creation-as St. Peter, St. Paul, and St.
Lucy, not to speak of a slack and spurious Christian”)。
