Charis, The word is pregnant in the Original, it signifieth Grace: if it signify a benefit at all, it signifies a benefit that issues from grace and favour; benefit is a weaker word. Grace, though it be not so common, is a fit word, and reaches to the strength of the word in the Original, to the meaning of the Apostle; so it is better to read it so, That you might have a second Grace.
