Art/Literary - Religion
English term or phrase: quintessence
... because God is self-existent, His love had no beginning; because He is eternal, His love can have no end; because He is holy, it is the *quintessence* of all spotless purity;"
La simple traducción "quinta esencia" no parece dar el énfasis que el autor quiere dar en la frase y quisiera saber si hay una palabra que exprese esto para evitar la explicación del término o caer en la palabrería. ¡Gracias por su ayuda!
