Genesis 6:8
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 6Meaning
The transition introduces grace before the narrative describes Noah's character and obedience.
Read carefully
The verse speaks of favor received; it should not be turned into a claim that Noah earned preservation by moral perfection.
Reflection
Grace appears before Noah's obedience is narrated, framing preservation as favor received rather than achievement earned.
