1 Peter 5:11

5:11 To him belongs 1  the power forever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:11

4:11 Whoever speaks, let it be with 2  God’s words. 3  Whoever serves, do so with the strength 4  that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong 5  the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

1 tn No verb is expressed here but the verb “is” or “belongs” is clearly implied. This doxology expresses a fact for which God should be glorified (as in 4:11), rather than a wish or prayer (“may power be to him”).

2 tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

3 tn Or “oracles.”

4 tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

5 tn Grk “is/are.”
