Hidden Treasures from our Hebrew Roots Dan & Brenda Cathcart Grace and Truth in the Torah In the gospel of John, John seems to contrast the law or Torah with grace and truth. John 1:17 KJV 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. For: #3754  hoti hot'-ee neuter of #3748 as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because.
