SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:25–27: Paul glorified God

In this section, Paul finished his letter by describing how God is able to strengthen the believers in Rome, and the purpose of that strengthening. Lastly, he said that God should have glory, as a praise to him.

In the Greek these verses are all one long sentence. It may be more clear for your readers if you break it up into shorter sentences. There is an example of this in the second meaning lines in the Display. See also the General Comment at the end of 16:27 below.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Paul’s Closing Prayer (CEV)

Doxology (ESV)

Concluding Prayer of Praise (GNT)

16:27

to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

To the only God who is wise should go glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
He is the only wise God. May glory belong to him because of what Jesus Christ did! It is true.

to the only wise God be glory forever: This resumes what Paul was about to say concerning God at 16:25 (“to Him…”). See the examples at the General Comment below for ways to translate with that meaning in mind.

to the only wise God be glory: This phrase indicates that Paul declared that God should get glory. With this saying Paul praised God. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

may there be glory to the only wise God

glory should go to the only wise God

may glory belong to the only wise God

See how you translated be glory in 11:36.

the only wise God: The word only indicates that the God of the Jews and Christians is the only god who is wise. It also does not claim that there are other gods.

wise: The word wise refers to skillful application of knowledge to a situation or deed. See how you translated this word in 1:14 or 16:19.

glory: The word glory refers literally to a very bright light. In this context it implies power, majesty, and greatness. Here are other ways to translate this word:

splendor

radiance

greatness

See how you translated this word in 1:23 or 11:36.

through Jesus Christ: The word through here indicates that God has glory because of what Jesus Christ did on earth.

Amen: The word Amen is a Hebrew word that means “even so” or “it is true.” The Greek borrowed the Hebrew word. English borrowed this word as well. It is used to agree with what was said. Paul wrote this expecting his readers to agree as well. See how you translated this word in 1:25 or 15:33.

General Comment on 16:25a–27

16:25b–26d is a description of how God is able to strengthen believers and also says things about the gospel, its revelation and purpose. It interrupts Paul declaring that God should get glory (“to him…to the only wise God be glory”).

This is one sentence of 52 words in the Greek (and one sentence of 73 words in the BSB). In some languages it is not natural to interrupt the main point with a long description. In some languages a sentence over 50 words long will be hard to understand. If either is true in your language, you may want to translate 16:25a–27 as a number of sentences. You may also want to avoid interrupting the main point. For example:

^25–27Now, he is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ. That gospel and proclamation are according to the revelation of the mystery that was concealed for ages past but now is revealed. That gospel and proclamation have been made known through the writings of the prophets, by the command of the eternal God. The purpose is to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith. To him, the only wise God, be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

^25–27Now, to God be glory! He is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ. Those two things are according to the revelation of the mystery that was concealed for ages past but now is revealed. They have been made known through the writings of the prophets, by the command of the eternal God. The purpose is to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith. To him, the only wise God, be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
