Por Dios bendito


Explanation:
Puedes traducirlo así, "por dios bendito", si es para una oración. Es el equivalente a la expresión en España a:
Por Dios bendito!
Por Dios!
Dios Santo!
etc.

Por el amor de Dios y solo por el amor de Dios


Explanation:
I imagine that the prayer goes on to say that something is to be done for God's sake and only for God's sake so I guess this will sound accurate in Spanish.
