1 Peter 5:10 — Community Reflections

1 PETER 5:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you — the final doxological assurance describes God as 'God of all grace' (charis) who has 'called to his eternal glory' (doxē aiōniō), who will 'himself restore' (katartizo, restore/perfect), 'establish' (sterizo), 'strengthen' (sthenoo), and 'found/establish' (themelioō) believers after temporary suffering. The divine action guarantees ultimate transformation.
