Final Blessing

1:24 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, ⁶  and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, ⁷  without blemish ⁸  before his glorious presence, ⁹ 

[1:18]  ¹ tn Grk “be.”

[1:18]  ² tn Grk “going according to their own desires of ungodliness.”

[1:21]  ³ tn Or “keep.”

[1:21]  ⁴ tn Or “waiting for.”

[1:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “unto eternal life.”

[1:24]  ⁵ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “free from falling” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “with rejoicing.” The prepositional clause is placed after “his glorious presence” in Greek, but most likely goes with “cause you to stand.”

[1:24]  ⁷ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “without blemish” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ⁸ tn Or “in the presence of his glory,” “before his glory.”
