Regarding the word for “undeserved kindness, ” which is translated“ grace ” in many Bible versions, one scholar wrote: “The whole basic idea of the word is that of a free and undeserved gift, of something given to a man unearned and unmerited. ”
وَتَعْلِيقًا عَلَى كَلِمَةِ « نِعْمَةٍ » فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ ،‏ يَقُولُ أَحَدُ ٱلْعُلَمَاءِ :‏ « تَعْنِي هٰذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ مِنْ حَيْثُ ٱلْأَسَاسُ هِبَةً لَا يَسْتَحِقُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ،‏ أَوْ عَطِيَّةً لَمْ يَكْتَسِبْهَا عَنْ جَدَارَةٍ أَوْ بِعَرَقِ جَبِينِهِ » .‏
