aufzutun ihre Augen, daß sie sich bekehren von der Finsternis zu dem Licht und von der Gewalt des Satans zu Gott, zu empfangen Vergebung der Sünden und das Erbe samt denen, die geheiligt werden durch den Glauben an mich.
Para que abras sus ojos, para que se conviertan de las tinieblas a la luz, y de la potestad de Satanás a Dios; para que reciban, por la fe que es en mí, remisión de pecados y suerte entre los santificados.
afin que tu leur ouvres les yeux, pour qu'ils passent des ténèbres à la lumière et de la puissance de Satan à Dieu, pour qu'ils reçoivent, par la foi en moi, le pardon des péchés et l'héritage avec les sanctifiés.
per aprir loro gli occhi, e convertirli dalle tenebre alla luce, e dalla podestà di Satana a Dio; acciocchè ricevano, per la fede in me, remission de’ peccati, e sorte fra i santificati.
Para lhes abrires os olhos, e das trevas os converteres à luz, e do poder de Satanás a Deus; a fim de que recebam a remissão de pecados, e herança entre os que são santificados pela fé em mim.
要開他們的眼睛,使他們從黑暗中轉向光明,從撒但權下歸向上帝;使他們因信我而得蒙赦罪,和一切成聖的人同得基業。』」
