Romans 16:25

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you, etc..] God is here described by his power, and the particular instance of it is the establishing of his people; that is, in the Gospel, as the Syriac version reads the next clause, and in the profession of it, with grace in their hearts, and in the exercise of it, and more lively and cheerful discharge of duty; (see Gill on “ <450111> Romans 1:11”); according to my Gospel; this is the means by which God usually establishes his people in faith and holiness; it is, indeed, an act of divine power, and which there is reason to hope and believe will be exerted; for words which express the power of God to do this, or the other thing, generally import…”

“Now to him that is of power--more simply, as in Jde 1:24, "to Him that is able." to stablish--confirm, or uphold you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ--that is, in conformity with the truths of that Gospel which I preach, and not I only, but all to whom has been committed "the preaching of Jesus Christ." according to the revelation of the mystery--(See on Rom 11:25). which was kept secret since the world began--literally, "which hath been kept in silence during eternal ages."”

“Now to him - This and the two following verses are found in many manuscripts at the close of Romans 14:0. Its proper place, however, is here; and the apostle thus concludes the whole Epistle with an ascription of praise. To him ... - To God; be glory; Romans 16:20. Is of power - Greek, Is able; who has power; Ephesians 3:20; Jude 1:24, “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling,” etc. God only can keep Christians in the path of salvation; and it was well to bring that truth prominently into view at the close of the Epistle. To establish you - To strengthen and confirm you. According to my gospel - According to the gospel which I preach; the doctrines which I have been defending in…”

“Now to him who is able - The last words of this epistle exactly answer the first, Rom 1:1-5; in particular, concerning the power of God, the gospel, Jesus Christ, the scriptures, the obedience of faith, all nations. To establish you - Both Jews and gentiles. According to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ - That is, according to the tenor of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I preach. According to the revelation of the mystery - Of the calling of the gentiles, which, as plainly as it was foretold in the Prophets, was still hid from many even of the believing Jews. Romans 16:26”

“16:25-27 This doxology makes a very appropriate conclusion to Paul’s letter and its argument, reprising many of the themes found at the very beginning (1:1-15). • The doxology is missing in two late manuscripts and is in different places in other manuscripts (after 14:23 and after 15:33). Therefore, these verses might have been added to Paul’s letter at a later time. However, the majority of manuscripts do include the doxology at the end of the letter, and it uses vocabulary and themes common in the rest of the letter. Paul most likely wrote it himself as a conclusion to the letter. 16:25 plan (literally mystery): For Paul, the mystery is the truth about God and his plan that was not clearly…”
