grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and pious sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and especially towards you.

For all these things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the gratitude of many redound to the glory of God.

And we co-operating with Him do also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

Now we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God conferred on the churches of Macedonia:

Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had already begun, so he would also complete this grace among you.

And as ye abound in every other grace, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye by his poverty might be rich.

(and not only so, but he was also chosen by the churches to accompany us with this grace, which is administered by us for the glory of the same Lord, and to shew your readiness of mind:)

And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that having always all sufficiency in every thing, ye may abound in every good work:

And in their prayer for you, who long after you because of the transcendent grace of God towards you.

And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is manifested in thy weakness." With the greatest pleasure therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
