Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let us see what it is that we have received. We have received grace for grace. Our receivings by Christ are all summed up in this one word, grace; we have received kai charin -- even grace, so great a gift, so rich, so invaluable; we have received no less than grace; this is a gift to be spoken of with an emphasis.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

of his fulness--of "grace and truth," resuming the thread of Joh 1:14. grace for grace--that is, grace upon grace (so all the best interpreters), in successive communications and larger measures, as each was able to take it in. Observe, the word "truth" is here dropped.
