Glory to God

25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you(A) according to my gospel and the proclamation about Jesus Christ,(B) according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent(C) for long ages(D) 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures,(E) according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith(F) among all the Gentiles— 27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ—to him be the glory forever![a](G) Amen.

Final prayer

25 May the glory be to God who can strengthen you with my good news and the message that I preach about Jesus Christ. He can strengthen you with the announcement of the secret[a] that was kept quiet for a long time. 26 Now that secret is revealed through what the prophets wrote. It is made known to the Gentiles[b] in order to lead to their faithful obedience based on the command of the eternal God. 27 May the glory be to God, who alone is wise! May the glory be to him through Jesus Christ forever! Amen.
