Commentary

Commentary on 1 Peter 5:11

Theological / Devotional

To him be. Or, “to Him is.” Compare the doxologies of Rom. 16:27; Phil. 4:20; 1 Tim. 6:16; 1 Peter 4:11; 2 Peter 3:18; Jude 25.

Glory. Literally, “the glory.” For comment on “glory” (doxa) see on John 1:14; Rom. 3:23. Important textual evidence may also be cited (cf. p. 10) for the omission of the words “glory and,” leaving only “dominion” in this doxology. Compare “praise” coupled with “dominion” in 1 Peter 4:11.

Dominion. Literally, “the dominion.”

For ever and ever. See on Rev. 1:6.
