Who

That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus;

In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour,

Unto me - the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

And he said, - I, will cause all my goodness to pass before thee. And will proclaim myself by the name Yahweh, before thee, And will show favour, unto whom I may show favour, And will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.

So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, - Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:

but refused to hearken, neither kept in mind thy wonders which thou hadst done with them, but they hardened their neck, and appointed a head that they might return to their servitude, in their perverseness. But, thou, art a God of forgivenesses, gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, and didst not forsake them.

Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;

For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh, - slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found, - Call ye upon him while he is near:

To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses, - for we have rebelled against him;

So he prayed unto Yahweh, and said - Ah now! Yahweh! Was not, this, my word, while I was yet upon mine own soil? For this cause, did I hasten to flee unto Tarshish, - because I knew that, thou, art a GOD of favour and compassion, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and art grieved over calamity.

Who is a GOD like unto thee, taking away the iniquity - and passing over the transgression - of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!

Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, -

Or, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise, - not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee?

Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:

In order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy which he prepared beforehand for glory, -

For there is no distinction - of Jew or Greek, - for, the same Lord , is Lord of all, being rich unto all who call upon him;

Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to his great mercy, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,

His

not because ye were more in number than any of the peoples, did Yahweh become attached to you and make choice of you, - for, ye, were fewer than any of the peoples;

Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, - but or the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.

From afar, Yahweh hath appeared unto me, Yea with an age-abiding love, have I loved thee, For this cause, have I prolonged to thee lovingkindness.

And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, thrusting about thee in thy blood, And said to thee - Despite thy blood, ye! Yea I said to thee - Despite thy blood, live!

And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, -

But God commendeth his own love unto us in that - we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.

For, unto Moses, he saith - I will have mercy upon whomsoever I can have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whomsoever I can have compassion.

But, we, are bound to give thanks unto God continually concerning you, brethren beloved by the Lord, for that God chose you, from the beginning, unto salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, -

Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour - which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times,

But, when, the graciousness and affection for man of our Saviour God, shone forth,

Herein, is love: not that, we, have loved God, but that, he, loved us, and sent forth his Son, as a propitiation concerning our sins.

To the end the Name of Yahweh, might be celebrated in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem:

Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.

We, love, because, he, first loved us: -
