         DefinitionShort: to show kindness to someone, with the implication of graciousness on the part of the one showing such kindness

         Glosses: ['to show kindness', 'to manifest graciousness toward', 'kindness', 'graciousness', 'grace']

         Comments: It is important to note that kindness in English indicates an activity in which an individual is kind to someone; it is essentially an event involving a particular quality. The same is true of χάρις in {S:04401504000016}, for this is not a mere gracious disposition, but an expectation of the Lord’s showing kindness.
