The Greek in John 1:16 that is translated as «grace upon grace» or similar in English is translated in Huichol as «He treats us with graciousness, and keeps increasing it.» (Source: M. Larson / B. Moore in Notes on Translation February 1970, p. 1-125.)

The English translation by Pakaluk (2021) has one gift in place of another (complete Verse: «Because we have all received of his fullness, and one gift in place of another.») Compare Ruden (2021): «Out of what fills him to the full, we have all been given a share, joyful favor in exchange for joyful favor» and the German translation by Berger / Nord: «Because that was the only way — no matter before or after him — that we could draw from what was given to him in fullness, grace and yet more grace.»
