John 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. The philosophic Hamerton tells us the story of a woman who worked in a cotton factory in one of the great manufacturing towns in Lancashire, and who, in an excursion, went for the first time to the coast. When she caught the earliest glimpse of the Irish Sea, the expanse lying out before her eyes, looking like the limitlessness of the ocean in its rush and roll of billows, she exclaimed, as she drew one boundless breath of freshness and glory: "At last, here comes something there is enough of!" (Dr. C. Robinson.) Parallel Verses KJV: And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. |
