For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things; i.e. all things are of him, as the efficient cause; through him, as the disposing cause; to him, as the final cause. They are of him, without any other motive; through him, without any assistance; and to him, without any other end, i.e. for his sake alone.
To whom be glory for ever. Amen: a usual doxology in Scripture: see Gal_1:52Ti_4:18Heb_13:211Pe_5:11.
