1 Timothy 1:14

And—Greek, "But." Not only so (was mercy shown me), but

the grace—by which "I obtained mercy" (I Timothy 1:13).

was exceeding abundant—Greek, "superabounded." Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20).

with faith—accompanied with faith, the opposite of "unbelief" (I Timothy 1:13).

love—in contrast to "a blasphemer, persecutor, and injurious."

which is in Christ—as its element and home [ALFORD]: here as its source whence it flows to us.
