Bible Verses About Grace

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

— John 1:16

"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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about grace?
John 1:16 is the one most readers land on: "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." Acts 15:11 is the usual second: "But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
How should a beginner use a list like this?
Start with one verse, not fifteen. Read it aloud once a day for a week — public-domain text, no permission needed, and the copy button will place it wherever you will actually see it. Scripture was written to be heard and repeated; a list like this is a shelf, not a syllabus.
Where in the Bible does it talk about grace?
The verses on this page come from 9 books of the Bible — most notably John, Acts, Romans and 6 more — spanning the New Testament. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses grace in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
How do I use a list of verses about grace?
Read the list once slowly, then keep the one verse that fits your situation close — the copy button places it wherever you will actually see it. Every card can be switched to the World English Bible for modern wording, and the random verse tool at the top of the page can draw one verse from this theme at a time if the whole list is more than today needs.
