'Obtained Mercy' in the Bible

For as ye in times past disobeyed God, but just now obtained mercy by their disobedience;

Therefore, having this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not;

though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I, being ignorant, did it in unbelief;

but for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me, as chief, Christ Jesus might show forth all His longsuffering for an example to those about to believe on Him unto eternal life.

who once were not a people, but are now God's people; who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
