Gift, free gift — an unmerited bestowal, especially God's gracious gift of the Spirit or salvation
The noun δωρεά (dorea) denotes a gift freely given, referring almost exclusively to God's gracious bestowal. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman of 'the gift of God' (John 4:10). Peter promises 'the gift of the Holy Spirit' at Pentecost (Acts 2:38), and the Spirit's outpouring on Gentiles astonishes Jewish believers (Acts 10:45). Simon Magus is rebuked for thinking God's gift could be purchased (Acts 8:20). Paul's argument in Romans 5:15-17 pivots on the 'free gift' of grace surpassing Adam's trespass. Spanish 'don,' French 'don,' and German 'Gabe' convey the gratuitous quality.
