So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

“What are you, you great mountain? ¹  Because of Zerubbabel you will become a level plain! And he will bring forth the temple ²  capstone with shoutings of ‘Grace! Grace!’ ³  because of this.”

Now the law came in ¹  so that the transgression ²  may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

So ¹  they will give ²  life to you, ³  and grace to adorn ⁴  your neck. ⁵ 

For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including ¹  more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase ²  to the glory of God.

I do not set aside ¹  God’s grace, because if righteousness ²  could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing! ³ 

You who are trying to be declared righteous ¹  by the law have been alienated ²  from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. ¹  Remember my chains. ²  Grace be with you. ³ 

From Paul ¹  and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians ²  in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you! ³ 

By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. ¹  Grace be with you all. ² 

Everyone with me greets you. Greet those who love us in the faith. ¹  Grace be with you all. ² 

Grace, mercy, and ¹  peace will be with us from God the Father and from ²  Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

And the child grew and became strong, ¹  filled with wisdom, ²  and the favor ³  of God ⁴  was upon him.

But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. ¹  For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, ²  how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

With ¹  great power the apostles were giving testimony ²  to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

So they stayed there ¹  for a considerable time, speaking out courageously for the Lord, who testified ²  to the message ³  of his grace, granting miraculous signs ⁴  and wonders to be performed through their hands.

To all those loved by God in Rome, ¹  called to be saints: ²  Grace and peace to you ³  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice ¹  in the hope of God’s glory.

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