'Grace' in the Bible

Through him we received grace and a commission as an apostle to bring about faithful obedience among all the gentiles for the sake of his name.

To: Everyone in Rome, loved by God and called to be holy. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in the Messiah Jesus,

Therefore, the promise is based on faith, so that it may be a matter of grace and may be guaranteed for all of Abraham's descendants not only for those who were given the Law, but also for those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast because of our hope in God's glory.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

Now the Law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more,

so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

What should we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

For sin will not have mastery over you, because you are not under Law but under grace.

What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under Law but under grace? Of course not!

So it is at the present time: there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

But if this is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of actions. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.

We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.

However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!
