English term or phrase: eminent holiness / eminently holy
DILIGENCE IN PRAYER IS THE SECRET OF EMINENT HOLINESS.
What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.
I daresay this opinion may startle some hearers. I have little doubt that many look on eminent holiness as a kind of special gift, which none but a few must pretend to aim at.

santidad extraordinaria


Explanation:
santidad extraordinaria/extraordinariamente santos. Se trata de destacar la evidencia de una santidad fuera de lo ordinario. Usar términos como "eminente" y parecidos en español no es afortunado aquí porque tienen un matiz de superioridad que no va de mano con la expresión en inglés donde las expresiones santo y humilde se asocian con mucha frecuencia. Simplemente se trata de algo fuera de lo ordinario, el énfasis está en el logro no en la distinción que da tal cantidad de santidad.
