Atvērt viņu acis, lai tie no tumsas atgrieztos gaismā un no sātana varas pie Dieva, lai tie ticībā uz mani saņemtu grēku piedošanu un mantojumu svēto pulkā.

Romans 4:8-13
8
Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."
9
Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10
How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12
He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13
For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
