Let it be said in conclusion that this commandment requires all people...to love and cherish the spouse whom God has given them. ~Large Catechism 1:219

Let it be said in conclusion that this commandment requires all people not only to live chastely in deed, word, and thought in their particular situation (that is, especially in marriage as a walk of life), but also to love and cherish the spouse whom God has given them. ~Large Catechism 1:219

I say these things in order that our young people may be led to acquire a desire for married life and know that it is a blessed and God-pleasing walk of life. ~Large Catechism 1:217

These words of Ambrose clearly support our position. He denies justification to works and attributes it to faith, which frees us through the blood of Christ. ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:104

And let no one glory in works, because no one is justified by their deeds. But those who are righteous have it as a gift, because after the washing [of baptism] they were justified. It is faith, therefore, that frees people thorugh the blood of Christ: 'blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered' [Ps. 32:1]." ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:103

But what is it to know Christ other than to know the blessings of Christ, the promises, which through the gospel he has scattered throughout the world? And to know these blessings, in a proper and true sense, is to believe in Christ, to believe that God will keep the promises which he makes on account of Christ. ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:101

Habakkuk 2[:4]: "But the righteous live by their faith." Here he writes first that people are righteous by faith, by which they believe that God is reconciled, and he adds that this same faith makes alive, because it produces peace, joy, and eternal life in the heart. ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:100

Acts 15[:9]: "and in cleaning their hearts by faith." Therefore that faith about which the apostles speak is not vain knowledge, but is that which receives the Holy Spirit and justifies us. ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:99

But the name of Christ is grasped only by faith. Therefore we are saved by trusting in the name of Christ and not in our works. ~Apology of the Augsburg Confession 4:98

And every day in the temple and at home [the apostles] did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Christ. ~Acts 5:42

[Gamaliel said to them:] "So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them--in that case you may even be found fighting against God!" ~Acts 5:38-39

[Peter and the apostles answered:] "The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so his the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him." ~Acts 5:30-32

The high priest questioned them, saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring this man's blood on us." But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than any human authority." ~Acts 5:27-29

Then the high priest took action; he and all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), being filled with jealousy, arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. ~Acts 5:17-18
