Yes, Luke,Chapter 1 "Hail,Full of Grace"

One who has sin is NOT "Full or Grace"(or even "Highly Favored")
------------------------------------------------------------

Which Bible are you reading?

I found a few references to "Full of Grace".

John 1:
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

(Jesus is "full of grace".)

and:

Acts 6:
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

(Stephen (full of grace...).

As for "Blessed; Scripture is full of "Blessed's.

============================================================

Luke 11:
27 As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!"
28 But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

Just a few more "Blessed's".

Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

I could go on and on.

You must do better than that.

Luke 11: 27 As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!" 28 But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

Ah now I was waiting for this one to come up!
Who was the first person to hear the Word of God and really keep it in a literal sense? Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.

John 1: 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. (Jesus is "full of grace".) and: Acts 6: 8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

Can I be the first to tell you that "full of Grace" doesn't mean the same thing when it pertains to Stephen. I can't explain why, I just wanted to be the first one to tell you. :-)

"Hail, full of Grace" is in the Douai/Rheims Luke, Ch. 1
KJV, Luke 1:28 "and the angel came in unto her , and said, Hail, (thou that art)highly favored, the Lord (is)with thee: blessed (art) thou among women. ....Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her "Fear not, Mary:for thou hast found favor with God"
Like i said, Angels don't address sinners in that manner, IMVHO.
