John 1:16, 17 (NAS)

For of His fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16, 17 (Philips)

Indeed, every one of us has shared in his riches—there is a grace in our lives because of his grace.For while the Law was given by Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16, 17 (NLT)

We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us—one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.

You have been filled with the presence, power, and riches of God in Christ Jesus. He has given you completeness and abundance. He has furnished you with all you need and you are liberally supplied. You want nothing and have been rendered perfect. You will carry through what you have been given. You will accomplish all. executing all of your duties under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit.

You have been given grace and your life is one that affords joy, pleasure, and delight. You have Adonai's good will, loving-kindness, and favor. Through God's mercy, you are strengthened and kept. Daily your faith and knowledge increases. You are empowered by the Lord's divine grace and recompensed and rewarded in His service. In this you exceedingly rejoice and are glad. He has caused you to be well and thrive. Not only do you receive this grace once, but you also receive grace upon grace upon grace. You are never lacking in what Jesus bestows freely.

You know that Adonai established His law through Moses. He first brought God's commands to mankind. Formerly, only those who observed and kept these divine precepts were accepted and approved of by the Lord.

However, the Lord God desired more to be His children than could keep His laws. He, therefore, gave His grace to you through His Son, Yeshua, the Anointed One. Now you understand the truth of those things appertaining to God. You know what your moral and religious duties are. You perceive and understand that Adonai executed His purposes and will through Jesus Christ. You now live in personal excellence and are free from any pretense, falsehood, or deceit, for Jesus has saved you.
