First words
Most introductory issues can really only be settled as a result of detailed exegesis.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The author's own modification of the standard formula of the doxology reflects the eschatological theme of his letter; glory belongs to Christ not simply "forever" (the usual word), but throughout the endless day which will dawn when he comes in glory (cf. 1:19).
