Study Lenses

The verse centers on "grace", "thou", "therefore", "sonne", "strong", "christ", and "iesus". It is saying that salvation is received as God's gift through faith, so boasting is pushed out by the wording itself.

The next verse adds "And what things thou hast heard of...", so "grace" and "thou" should be read forward into that movement. In 2 Timothy context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "grace" and "thou" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
