Note 1 — Chapter XVI · THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND HEATHENISM.
George Eliot translation
“How much better is it that I should lose the whole world than that I should lose God, who created the world, and can create innumerable worlds, who is better than a hundred thousand, than innumerable worlds? For what sort of a comparison is that of the temporal with the eternal?... One soul is better than the whole world.”—Luther (Th. xix. p. 21). ↑
