"Full of Grace" - how many texts in the Bible have that? And who is it applied to?

[BobRyan]

Everyone knows of a common sentence used now days -- that has in it the phrase "full of grace".

That phrase occurs two places in the Bible.

Know where that is??

The phrase only appears once in the KJV. John 1:14

So. Yes Jesus only is full of grace and truth.

 

[BobRyan]

Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

I don't know what version you're using for Acts 6:8 but the KJV uses the phrase "full of faith and power" there.

According to Strong's the translations you listed for Acts 6:8 don't match the underlying Greek at all. The KJV does.

Acts 6:8 Στέφανος δὲ πλήρης χάριτος καὶ δυνάμεως ἐποίει τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα μεγάλα ἐν τῷ λαῷ

χάρις -- Charis -- Grace


The KJV translates Strong's G5485 in the following manner: grace (130x), favour (6x), thanks (4x), thank (4x), thank (with G2192) (3x), pleasure (2x), miscellaneous (7x)
