And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

John 1:16
“And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

"By grace are ye saved" is the Bible's most dangerous sentence to religion-as-merit — grace is favor that cannot be earned, only received. These verses defend that claim. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from John 1:16 to Titus 3:7.
Quick answer: The best-known verse about grace here is John 1:16: "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." Acts 15:11 follows close behind: "But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.
