undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness: The Greek word for “undeserved kindness” is khaʹris. In this context, it denotes God’s bounteous giving and generous love and kindness. This kindness is given unearned and unmerited; the giving is motivated solely by the generosity of the giver. (See Glossary, “Undeserved kindness.”) The doubling of the word khaʹris combined with the Greek preposition an·tiʹ (here rendered “upon”) denotes an abundant, continual, or successive flow of undeserved kindness. The idea could also be expressed as “continual [or “constant”] undeserved kindness.”
