Grace (χάριν)
From the same root as χαίρω, to rejoice. I. Primarily that which gives joy or pleasure; and hence outward beauty, loveliness, something which delights the beholder. Thus Homer, of Ulysses going to the assembly: "Athene shed down manly grace or beauty upon him" ("Odyssey," ii., 12); and Septuagint, Psalms 45:3, "grace is poured into thy liPsalms" See also Pro 1:9; Pro 3:22. Substantially the same idea, agreeableness, is conveyed in Luk 4:22, respecting the gracious words, lit., words of grace, uttered by Christ. So Eph 4:29. II. As a beautiful or agreeable sentiment felt and expressed toward another; kindness, favor, good-will. Co2 8:6, Co2 8:7, Co2 8:9; Co2 9:8; Luk 1:30; Luk 2:40; Act 2:47. So of the responsive sentiment of thankfulness. See Luk 6:32, Luk 6:33, Luk 6:34 :; Luk 17:9; but mostly in the formula thanks to God; Rom 6:17; Co1 15:57; Co2 2:14; Ti2 1:3. III. The substantial expression of good-will; a boon, a favor, a gift; but not in New Testament. See Rom 5:15, where the distinction is made between χάρις, grace, and δωρεὰ ἐν χάριτι, a gift in grace. So a gratification or delight, in classical Greek only; as the delight in battle, in sleep, etc. IV. The higher Christian signification, based on the emphasis of freeness in the gift or favor, and, as commonly in New Testament, denoting the free, spontaneous, absolute loving-kindness of God toward men, and so contrasted with debt, law, works, sin. The word does not occur either in Matthew or Mark. |
20 But [1161] while he [846] thought on [1760] these things [5023], behold [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] appeared [5316] unto him [846] in [2596] a dream [3677], saying [3004], Joseph [2501], thou son [5207] of David [1138], fear [5399] not [3361] to take [3880] unto thee [4675] Mary [3137] thy wife [1135]: for [1063] that which is conceived [1080] in [1722] her [846] is [2076] of [1537] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].
15 But [235] not [3756] as [5613] the offence [3900], so [3779] also [2532] is the free gift [5486]. For [1063] if [1487] through the offence [3900] of one [1520] many [4183] be dead [599], much [4183] more [3123] the grace [5485] of God [2316], and [2532] the gift [1431] by [1722] grace [5485], which is [3588] by one [1520] man [444], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], hath abounded [4052] unto [1519] many [4183].
3 I thank [2192] [5485] God [2316], whom [3739] I serve [3000] from [575] my forefathers [4269] with [1722] pure [2513] conscience [4893], that [5613] without ceasing [88] I have [2192] remembrance [3417] of [4012] thee [4675] in [1722] my [3450] prayers [1162] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250];
14 Now [1161] thanks [5485] be unto God [2316], which always [3842] causeth [2358] us [2248] to triumph [2358] in [1722] Christ [5547], and [2532] maketh manifest [5319] the savour [3744] of his [846] knowledge [1108] by [1223] us [2257] in [1722] every [3956] place [5117].
57 But [1161] thanks [5485] be to God [2316], which [3588] giveth [1325] us [2254] the victory [3534] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
17 But [1161] God [2316] be thanked [5485], that [3754] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], but [1161] ye have obeyed [5219] from [1537] the heart [2588] that form [5179] of doctrine [1322] which [1519] [3739] was delivered you [3860].
9 [3361] Doth he [2192] thank [5485] that [1565] servant [1401] because [3754] he did [4160] the things that were commanded [1299] him [846]? I trow [1380] not [3756].
34 And [2532] if [1437] ye lend [1155] to them of [3844] whom [3739] ye hope [1679] [1679] to receive [618], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also [2532] lend [1155] to sinners [268], to [2443] receive [618] as much [2470] again [618].
33 And [2532] if [1437] ye do good [15] to them which do good [15] to you [5209], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also do [4160] even [2532] the same [846].
32 For [2532] if [1487] ye love [25] them which love [25] you [5209], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also [2532] love [25] those that love [25] them [846].
47 Praising [134] God [2316], and [2532] having [2192] favour [5485] with [4314] all [3650] the people [2992]. And [1161] the Lord [2962] added [4369] to the church [1577] daily [2596] [2250] such as should be saved [4982].
40 And [1161] the child [3813] grew [837], and [2532] waxed strong [2901] in spirit [4151], filled [4137] with wisdom [4678]: and [2532] the grace [5485] of God [2316] was [2258] upon [1909] him [846].
30 And [2532] the angel [32] said [2036] unto her [846], Fear [5399] not [3361], Mary [3137]: for [1063] thou hast found [2147] favour [5485] with [3844] God [2316].
8 And [1161] God [2316] is able [1415] to make [4052] all [3956] grace [5485] abound [4052] toward [1519] you [5209]; that [2443] ye, always [3842] having [2192] all [3956] sufficiency [841] in [1722] all [3956] things, may abound [4052] to [1519] every [3956] good [18] work [2041]:
9 For [1063] ye know [1097] the grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [3754], though he was [5607] rich [4145], yet for [1223] your [5209] sakes [1223] he became poor [4433], that [2443] ye [5210] through his [1565] poverty [4432] might be rich [4147].
7 Therefore [235], as [5618] ye abound [4052] in [1722] every [3956] thing, in faith [4102], and [2532] utterance [3056], and [2532] knowledge [1108], and [2532] in all [3956] diligence [4710], and [2532] in your [5216] love [26] [1537] to [1722] us [2254], see that [2443] ye abound [4052] in [1722] this [5026] grace [5485] also [2532].
6 Insomuch [1519] that we [2248] desired [3870] Titus [5103], that [2443] as [2531] he had begun [4278], so [3779] he would [2005] also [2532] finish [2005] in [1519] you [5209] the same [5026] grace [5485] also [2532].
29 Let [4550] no [3361] [3956] corrupt [4550] communication [3056] proceed [1607] out of [1537] your [5216] mouth [4750], but [235] that which [1536] is good [18] to [4314] the use [5532] of edifying [3619], that [2443] it may minister [1325] grace [5485] unto the hearers [191].
22 And [2532] all [3956] bare [3140] him [846] witness [3140], and [2532] wondered [2296] at [1909] the gracious [5485] words [3056] which [3588] proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]. And [2532] they said [3004], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] Joseph's [2501] son [5207]?
22 So shall they be life [02416] unto thy soul [05315], and grace [02580] to thy neck [01621].
9 For they shall be an ornament [03880] of grace [02580] unto thy head [07218], and chains [06060] about thy neck [01621].
