The prayers of the penitent Pharisee were not in vain. The inmost thoughts and emotions of his heart were transformed by divine grave; and his nobler faculties were brought into harmony with the eternal purposes of God. Christ and His righteousness became to Saul more than the whole world.

Den angrende farisæers bønner var ikke forgæves! Ved Guds nåde forvandledes hans hjertes inderste tanker og følelser, og hans ædlere egenskaber blev bragt i samklang med Guds evige formål. For Saulus blev Kristus og hans retfærdighed mere end hele den øvrige verden.
