Jean 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Study Note
The contrast 'the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ' is not an absolute opposition between Old and New Testament but a distinction of mode and fullness. The prologue's claim that no one has ever seen God but the Son has made him known (verse 18) grounds the 'grace and truth' in the self-disclosure of God himself, picking up the Exodus 34:6 declaration of YHWH's hesed we-emet (steadfast love and truth). John presents Jesus not as abolishing what Moses gave but as being the personal embodiment of what the divine name had announced at Sinai: the God of grace and faithfulness now made visible. The verse has been foundational for discussions of the relationship between the two testaments, law and gospel, and the continuity and newness of the divine economy.
