^16 [a]And of His ^(A)fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. ¹⁷ For ^(B)the law was given through Moses, but ^(C)grace and ^(D)truth came through Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ But ^[a]may the God of all grace, ^(A)who called ^[b]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, ^[c]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

^25 (A)And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
