SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:11

A �l sea gloria e imperio para siempre. Am�n.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:11

Verse 11. To him] The God of all grace, be glory - all honour and praise be ascribed, and dominion - the government of heaven, earth, and hell, for ever - through time, and ever - through eternity. Amen - so be it, so let it be, and so it shall be. Amen and Amen!

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. To him be glory, and dominion, for ever and ever, Amen .] The Syriac version begins this doxology in the preceding verse, reading the words thus, �to the God of grace�, and then putting what follows, �who hath called us�, etc. into a parenthesis, connects them with these, �be glory, and power, and honour�, etc. �glory� is due to God for all the grace he bestows on men; and to give it to him shows a sense of divine goodness, and a grateful heart; and to him very fitly is �dominion� ascribed, whose kingdom rules over all, and who dispenses his grace, as well as his providential favours, in a sovereign way; and whom the saints are in a peculiar manner under obligation to obey; to which is added, �Amen�, signifying that so the apostle prayed it might be, and believed it would be.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-14 - In conclusion, the apostle prays to God for them, as the God of all grace. Perfect implies their progress towards perfection. Stablis imports the curing of our natural lightness and inconstancy. Strengthe has respect to the growth of graces, especially where weakest an lowest. Settle signifies to fix upon a sure foundation, and may refe to Him who is the Foundation and Strength of believers. Thes expressions show that perseverance and progress in grace are first to be sought after by every Christian. The power of these doctrines on the hearts, and the fruits in the lives, showed who are partakers of the grace of God. The cherishing and increase of Christian love, and of affection one to another, is no matter of empty compliment, but the stamp and badge of Jesus Christ on his followers. Others may have false peace for a time, and wicked men may wish for it to themselve and to one another; but theirs is a vain hope, and will come to nought All solid peace is founded on Christ, and flows from him __________________________________________________________________
