“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ — the ultimate comparison: Moses mediated law (nomos), while Jesus incarnates grace and truth (charis and alētheia). This is not antithesis but fulfillment; truth completes law, grace transforms obligation into gift. The passive "was given" for Moses contrasts with the active being of Jesus as the source, emphasizing the difference between mediation and incarnation.
