The Greek word Caris, that's here rendered Grace, we showed you had a three-fold signification in the Scripture. Sometimes it denotes the favour of God; sometimes the common gifts of the Spirit; and sometimes the saving Graces of the Spirit. Now, says Paul, that singular favour that God ha's conferred upon me, and all those common gifts, and special graces with which he ha's enriched me, they are all to be employed and exercised. Unto me is this Grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles, the Unsearchable Riches of Christ.
