And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all.

But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
