Question

The greetings of Paul’s epistles name this thing in place of the customary salutation “Hail,” playing on the similarity between the two Greek words. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this thing which, according to Romans, has “abounded all the more” so that it “might reign through righteousness to eternal life.” In 2 Corinthians 12:9, God does not remove Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” because this thing “is sufficient.”
ANSWER: grace [or charis]
[10e] Paul’s greetings mention grace alongside this thing, which is a translation of the customary Jewish greeting “Shalom.” Philippians refers to an instance of this thing which “passes all understanding.”
ANSWER: peace [or eirene]
[10h] The opening of this epistle is the only place of the New Testament apart from Luke 1 to use the verb charito-o, “to fill with grace.” The Christological hymn that begins this epistle declares that, “before the foundation of the world,” God “destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ.”
ANSWER: Ephesians
