Jeho smrt odčinila moji vinu. Vymysleli jsme si mnoho zbytečných pošetilostí, ty jsi však přede mne postavil své slovo jako pochodeň a dotýkáš se mého srdce, abych mohl odmítnout všechny zásluhy kromě zásluh Ježíše Krista. (Martyn, díl 3, kap. 13)
In the Bible he found Christ. "O Father," he cried, "His sacrifice has appeased Thy wrath; His blood has washed away my impurities; His cross has borne my curse; His death has atoned for me. We had devised for ourselves many useless follies, but Thou hast placed Thy word before me like a torch, and Thou hast touched my heart, in order that I may hold in abomination all other merits save those of Jesus." --Martyn, vol. 3, ch. 13.
