- 1Some read: Grace. &c. be with you.
Grace, &c. He wisheth to the faithful, Grace, which is given to us by Christ: wherein also he declareth himself to be the faithful dispenser of the mysteries of God.1 And he comforteth us when he saith, that Grace shall continue with us, whereby we are saved through faith. For by the word, Grace, he signifieth the favour of God, which he showeth towards us for his sons sake:2 in that he imputeth not our sins unto us, but remitteth them for our mediator Jesus. Mercy. This is the cause of that Grace into the which God receiveth us:3 concerning the which Peter writeth. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy,4 hath begotten us again into a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.5 And Paul: Not of the works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us. Peace.
