'Graciousness' in the Bible

However, so that I will not burden you any further, I beg you in your graciousness to give us a brief hearing.

So too then, at the present time there has come to be a remnant [a small believing minority] according to God’s gracious choice.

But if it is by grace [God’s unmerited favor], it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace [it would not be a gift but a reward for works].

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
