The Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther






The Ten Commandments

The First Commandment

You shall have no other gods.

What does this mean?
We should fear, love and trust in God above all things.


O Holy Trinity, You have commanded us to have no other gods. Grant that we may fear, love, and trust in You above all things; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
