2 Peter 3:18 — Community Reflections

2 PETER 3:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 2

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen — the final exhortation to grow (auxanō) in grace and knowledge returns to 1:2-4's themes. Growth is perpetual and infinite: in grace (charis) and knowledge (epignōsis). The doxology to Jesus Christ (literally 'the glory both now and to day of eternity') attributes eschatological dominion to Christ.
