Stephen was plhrhV caritoV kai dunamewV

=full of grace and power, two nouns dependent on the adjective "full".

Mary was saluted by Gabriel as kecaritwmenh

=perfect participle in the passive voice = endowed with grace or "graced" at an indefinite time in the past and continuing on (presumably forever).

Interesting... However, there are Greek texts that have ristews (full of "faith") instead of caritoV (full of "grace").
