John 1:16,17

"For of his fullness we all received, and grace instead of grace.  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth became through Jesus Anointing."  Typically translated "for" in this verse, the Greek preposition ANTI is very literal, here, in the Etymological New Testament: "instead."  Part of the blessing of fullness that we all receive is this onslaught of grace. Grace instead of grace!  Grace's companion in the Anointing is Truth.  These two qualities belong together, grace and truth.  To sever them is to lose both. And they both "became" what they really are, in Jesus Anointing.
