More From Martin Luther

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. but i would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.

We conclude, therefore, that a christian lives not in himself, but in christ and in his neighbor. otherwise he is not a christian. he lives in christ through faith, in his neighbor through love. by faith he is caught up beyond himself into god. by love he descends beneath himself into his neighbor.
Christian Neighbor Caught
If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest thy love to god; for by thy love to god, the love to thy neighbor is begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor thy love to god is nourished.
Charity Neighbor Vain
