Doxology
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea. Rom 16:27
God only wise... Psm. 147:5 “Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite.”
This just about says it all. God is Wisdom. He is Power. He is Infinite.
It was through the Father that the gospel was ultimately revealed; therefore, He deserves all the credit, praise and worship.
Paul then identified specifically the object of his benediction: To the only wise God. In the Greek this phrase is followed immediately by the words through Jesus Christ. This indicates that the wisdom of God is displayed supremely through Christ (cf. Col. 2:3). According to the Greek text the benediction then ends, to whom be glory forever! Amen (cf. Rom. 11:36). God the Father ultimately is the One to be praised and to whom glory belongs (cf. 1Cor. 15:24-28).
