‏ 1 Timothy 1:14

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

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

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

      with faith—accompanied with faith, the opposite of "unbelief" (1Ti 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.
