You can picture grace as a pleasing, freely-given goodness — something lovely that flows out , whether in how a body moves, how a person behaves, or how a favour is given without being earned. Two streams pour from this one source: the pleasing-to-watch (smooth movement, good manners) and the freely-given favour (God's grace, extra time given, an honouring visit).

可以想成「一種令人歡喜、不費力就流露出來的美好」——它可以是身體動起來的優美、待人接物的得體,也可以是一份不必你掙來更多收起可以想成「一種令人歡喜、不費力就流露出來的美好」——它可以是身體動起來的優美、待人接物的得體,也可以是一份不必你掙來、白白給你的善意。從這同一個源頭流出兩股水:一股是「看了讓人舒服的美」(流暢的動作、得體的舉止),另一股是「白白給出的恩惠」(神的恩典、寬限的時間、賞光蒞臨)。
