《路德，莫兰顿和加尔文在罗马5，13章解经上的异同 (ROMANS 5 AND 13 AS LENSES INTO THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF LUTHER, MELANCHTHON, AND CALVIN’S ROMANS COMMENTARIES)》
Next, Luther makes a surprising move. On the basis of the wording in Rom 13:1 (“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities”), he launches into a discussion of the three elements of the human—body, soul, spirit—in order to focus upon teachings concerning slavery and freedom. The body, says Luther, is subject to the state. The spirit, however, is completely free and subject to no one but God. The soul, on the other hand, is that midpoint between body and spirit. The soul, Luther writes, is the spirit “insofar as it lives and works and is occupied with visible and temporal matters.”
接下来路德做了一个出人意料的举动。在罗13：1的用字的基础上，（和合版：在上有权柄的，人人当顺服他。但根据英文，应为：在上有权柄的，所有的魂都当顺服他。若根据和合版译文，大概没人知道为什么路德会引用这节了，）他开始进入对人里面三部分灵，魂，体—的讨论，以期能集中于为奴和自由的教导上。（注：路德的名著，基督徒的自由。）体，路德告诉我们，是为着（属地的）政权的。灵，则是完全的自由，不服于除了神以外的任何权柄之下。魂，在另一方面，是体和灵的中间点。魂，路德写道，乃是“在可见的、临时的事物上生活工作，并被其所占据时的”灵。

… Within a philosophical context Luther kept the traditional trichotomy of body, soul, and spirit. But in a theological context Luther said that "in my temerity I do not distinguish body, soul, and spirit but present the totus homo, the whole man, unto God." In the Romans and both Galatian commentaries he spells out the theological reason for viewing man in his entire being as either flesh or spirit, trusting in self or trusting in God.
在一个哲学的范畴中，路德保持传统的体、魂、和灵的三元论。但是在神学的范畴中，路德说“在我的勇气中，我并没有分别体、魂、和灵，而是把整个人展现给神。”在罗马和加拉太书的注释中，他详细地揭示了他因为信靠自己或信靠神而将人看作整个是属肉体或属灵的的完整个体。
