I can vouch for it: they gave all they could, and more than they could, and they did it of their own free will. Again and again they appealed to us, begging for the favor of a share in the relief for God’s holy people. It went beyond anything we had hoped for. Before anything else they gave themselves to the Lord, and then, because God willed it, to us.

From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God. God promised this gospel long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures. It concerns his Son, who by human descent was born of the line of David, and who was appointed Son of God in power, through the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we have received grace and apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith among all the nations for the sake of his name. You are among them, you whom Jesus Christ has called to be his own. To all of you in Rome whom God loves and has called to be his holy people: grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

So now that we have been declared righteous by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also been brought by faith into this grace where we now stand, and we boast in the hope of sharing God’s glory.

And if it is by grace, it does not come from works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
By the grace given to me I tell each one of you: do not rate yourself higher than you should. Let your thinking be sober and sensible instead, in keeping with the measure of faith that God has assigned to each of you.
We have gifts that differ, according to the grace given to us. If someone’s gift is prophecy, they should prophesy in proportion to their faith. If it is serving, they should give themselves to serving; the one who teaches, to teaching; the one who encourages, to encouraging. The one who shares should share generously; the one who leads, with eagerness; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Yet on some points I have written to you quite boldly, to remind you of them again. I have done so because of the grace God gave me to be a minister of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an offering that God accepts, made holy by the Holy Spirit.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.

I give thanks to my God for you at all times, because of the grace God gave you in Christ Jesus. In him you have been made rich in everything: in every kind of speaking and every kind of knowledge.

2 Corintios 8:4 2 Corintios 8:6
I can vouch for it: they gave all they could, and more than they could, and they did it of their own free will. Again and again they appealed to us, begging for the favor of a share in the relief for God’s holy people. It went beyond anything we had hoped for. Before anything else they gave themselves to the Lord, and then, because God willed it, to us. That is why we have asked Titus, who got this started among you in the first place, to see this gift of grace through to the end with you as well.

favor, privilege: a kindness they asked to be shown, the opportunity to give χάριν is the word for grace. Here it is something the Macedonians ask Paul for: the favor of being allowed to take part.

Paul uses the same word in verse 1 for God’s grace that moved them, so their request is grace answering grace.

I am astonished that you are so quickly turning away from God, who called you by the grace of Christ, and going over to a different gospel. But there is no second gospel. There are only some people who are unsettling you and want to twist the gospel of Christ into something else.
But God set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, and when he chose to reveal his Son in me so that I would proclaim the gospel about him among the Gentiles, I did not at once turn to any human being for advice. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me. Instead I went away to Arabia, and afterward I came back to Damascus.
As for those who were regarded as important (what they once were makes no difference to me, since God is not swayed by a person’s standing), those leaders added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been for the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter to make him an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me for the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, who were regarded as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, and they gave Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We agreed that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
I do not cancel out God’s grace. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing at all.
Any of you who look to the law to justify you have been cut off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ he has blessed us with every blessing the Spirit gives in the heavenly places. Even before the world was founded, God chose us in Christ, so that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love. He marked us out beforehand to be adopted as his own sons and daughters through Jesus Christ. That was what he gladly willed, so that his glorious grace would be praised, the grace he has freely given us in the Beloved. In him and through his blood we have redemption, the forgiveness of our wrongdoing. We have it because God’s grace is so rich, grace that he has poured out on us in abundance, with all wisdom and understanding. He has made known to us the mystery of his will, as it pleased him to do. He set out this purpose in Christ as his plan for when the times reach their fullness: to bring all things together under one head in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth, all in him. In him we too have been claimed as God’s own portion. We were marked out for this beforehand by the purpose of God, who works out everything as his will determines, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ would bring praise to his glory.
But God is rich in mercy. Because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ. You have been saved by grace. With him God raised us up, and with him seated us in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, so that through the ages still to come he might put on display the wealth of his grace, which surpasses all measure, seen in the kindness he has shown us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by this grace that you have been saved, through faith. None of this comes from you; it is God’s gift.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles— surely you have heard how God entrusted me with his grace, to manage it for your good.
God made the mystery known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written already. When you read this, you will be able to see my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In other generations it was not made known to humankind as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets. This is the mystery: through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, which was given to me through the working of his power. Though I am less than the least of all God’s holy people, this grace was given to me: to bring the Gentiles the good news of the riches of Christ, riches no one can ever fully trace, and to make plain to everyone how the mystery is being carried out, the mystery that for ages past was hidden in God, who created all things. God’s aim was that now, through the church, his wisdom in all its rich variety would be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in keeping with the purpose he has had through all the ages, which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him, through faith in him, we can come to God boldly and with confidence.
But grace was given to each one of us, in the measure in which Christ gave it.

All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, and it has done the same among you from the day you heard it and came to know God’s grace in all its truth. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who serves Christ faithfully on our behalf. He is also the one who told us about your love in the Spirit.

He gave himself for us to set us free from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people that belongs to him, eager to do what is good.
