Daily life Quote by Andrzej Franaszek
““All of us, in our flesh and in the affairs of daily life, are subject to the devil and are guests in a world in which he is a master and a god. That is why the bread we eat, the clothes we wear, even the air, everything by which we live is under his power. Martin Luther, Commentary on Galatians 3, used as the epigraph to ‘Gardener’, NCP 731””

![“I find it fascinating that Paul [the apostol], writing to the Galatians, responds to the question, "What does it mean to live in Christ?" by saying, "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."” quote by John Shelby Spong](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/48e/john-shelby-spong-1488_christ_i-find-it-fascinating-that-paul-the-apos_119928.jpg)
