Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith. The grace that is given to me of God.
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, Who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a Sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His holy Spirit. Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you.
And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it. Who gave Himself a Ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. All that the Father giveth Me shall come to me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? Because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. It is more blessed to give than to receive.
He spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him aslo freely give us all things? As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church. The Lord give thee understanding in all things. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Now the Lord of peace of Himself give you peace always by all means.
