The Word
Restored

Scripture was written in Greek and Hebrew. Within those languages there are words that carry a depth of meaning that no single English word can fully express. This is an attempt to give some of that depth back.

"For by charis you have been saved through pistis — and this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God."
