This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will: may this God dispose, incline, and fit you for, may he finish and perfect in you, grace to perform all the forementioned duties, and every other good work, which he enjoineth on you towards God, one another, and all men, 2Co_13:9 Eph_4:12 Tit_3:14 1Pe_4:2 5:10, according to his written will and law, Eph_2:10.
Working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ: working in you by his Spirit continually, that all these good works may satisfy his expectation, be a sweet savour in his nostrils, and so pleasing in his sight, that his soul may delight in them, Phi_2:13 Col_1:9,10; that God’s good-will may return unto them, and he may reward them according to their works, Heb_11:5,6; while all is rendered by Jesus Christ, sprinkled with his blood, and perfumed with his incense, Heb_10:19-22. As they are to have all done through Christ, so through his merit and intercession the apostle begs all this from the Father for them.
To whom be glory for ever and ever; to this God the Father, in the Son, and by the Spirit, working all this good in them and for them, be really, truly, heartily, and perpetually, throughout all ages, ascribed the honour and glory due to him for the glorious manifestation of his perfections in them, Eph_3:21 Phi_4:20 2Pe_3:18 Rev_4:11 5:13. The firm seal of this, from his believing heart, is his Amen, longing for the addition of God’s Amen, so be it in heaven, to his on earth.
