Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Luther appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le diable rôde autour de l’homme ; Jésus lui-même n’a pas été à l’abri de ses embûches ; la tentation de saint Antoine est populaire ; Martin Luther fut aussi tourmenté par Satan, et, pour s’en débarrasser, fut obligé de lui jeter son écritoire à la tête. On voit encore la tache d’encre sur le mur de la cellule.
Soyez tranquille, si une fois je me fais huguenot, je serai plus huguenot que Luther, que Calvin, que Mélanchthon et que tous les réformistes de la terre.
