I do not set aside<n id="1" /> God&#8217;s grace, because if righteousness<n id="2" /> could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!<n id="3" />p>

even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ &#8211; by grace you are saved!<n id="1" /> &#8211;

For by grace you are saved<n id="1" /> through faith,<n id="2" /> and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;

if indeed<n id="1" /> you have heard of the stewardship<n id="2" /> of God&#8217;s grace that was given to me for you,

<p class="bodytext">But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

to the saints, the faithful<n id="1" /> brothers and sisters<n id="2" /> in Christ, at Colossae. Grace and peace to you<n id="3" /> from God our Father!<n id="4" />p>

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone.p>

<p class="bodytext">I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand.<n id="1" /> Remember my chains.<n id="2" /> Grace be with you.<n id="3" />p>

to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!p>

and our Lord&#8217;s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.<n id="1" />

to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!p>

To Titus, my genuine son in a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior!p>

So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe.

<p class="bodytext">Concerning this salvation,<n id="1" /> the prophets<n id="2" /> who predicted the grace that would come to you<n id="3" /> searched and investigated carefully.

Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another<n id="1" /> as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

May grace and peace be lavished on you<n id="1" /> as you grow<n id="2" /> in the rich knowledge<n id="3" /> of God and of Jesus our Lord!<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">I have no greater joy than this: to hear<n id="1" /> that my children are living according to the truth.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;If<n id="1" /> you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners<n id="2" /> love those who love them.<n id="3" />

And<n id="1" /> if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even<n id="2" /> sinners<n id="3" /> do the same.

And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid,<n id="1" /> what credit is that to you? Even sinners<n id="2" /> lend to sinners, so that they may be repaid in full.<n id="3" />
