But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, &#8220;<i><b>God opposes the proudb>, <b>but he gives grace to the humbleb>i>.&#8221;<n id="1" />

He won&#8217;t thank the slave because he did what he was told,<n id="1" /> will he?<n id="2" />

For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.<n id="1" />

Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.<n id="1" />

For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!

<t /><p class="bodytext">For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus<n id="1" /> for the sake of you Gentiles &#8211;

<t /><p class="bodytext">For this reason<n id="1" /> I kneel<n id="2" /> before the Father,<n id="3" />

So<n id="1" /> the angel said to her, &#8220;Do not be afraid,<n id="2" /> Mary, for you have found favor<n id="3" /> with God!

He<n id="1" /> found favor<n id="2" /> with<n id="3" /> God and asked that he could<n id="4" /> find a dwelling place<n id="5" /> for the house<n id="6" /> of Jacob.

Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul,<n id="1" /> they urged Festus<n id="2" /> to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush<n id="3" /> to kill him along the way.

Through him<n id="1" /> we have received grace and our apostleship<n id="2" /> to bring about the obedience<n id="3" /> of faith<n id="4" /> among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.

And we have different gifts<n id="1" /> according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,

begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping<n id="1" /> the saints.

Thus<n id="1" /> we urged<n id="2" /> Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work,<n id="3" /> so also he should complete this act of kindness<n id="4" /> for you.

And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you.<n id="1" />

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>
