geneva@1Timothy:1:2 @ Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, (note:)There is as much difference between mercy and grace, as is between the effect and the cause: for grace is that free good will of God, by which he chose us in Christ, and mercy is that free justification which follows it.(:note) mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
