Trinity And Gifts



Χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη.

Ἐπεύχονται οἱ γράφοντες χάριν καὶ εἰρήνην ὑπαρχθῆναι Κορινθίοις ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τῆς αὐτῆς δηλονότι ἐκ πατρὸς καὶ υἱοῦ διδομένης δωρεᾶς· ὡς γὰρ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ ὁ πατήρ, ταῦτα ὁ υἱὸς ὁμοίως ὑφίστησιν, οὕτως ἃ δίδωσιν ὁ πατὴρ χαρίσματα, ὁ υἱὸς δωρεῖται· μία γὰρ χάρις καὶ εἰρήνη μία πρὸς τῆς τριάδος δίδοται.

Grace And Peace to you. 1

Writing, he prays that grace and peace may be with the Corinthians from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, because clearly the same gift is given from the Father and the Son, for as the Father performs his work, similarly the Son does the same. 2 Thus what gifts the Father gives, so the Son gives the same; certainly one grace and one peace is given by the Trinity.
