    • 13:21

      equip you with every good thing: Paul understood that his readers, like him, could not do God’s will in their own strength. That is why he prays that Jehovah equip them with whatever they might need. (Heb 13:20; compare 2Co 3:5.) According to one lexicon, the Greek verb rendered “equip” has the basic meaning of “thoroughly prepare something to meet demands; . . . make ready, complete.” (Compare the discussion of a related Greek word in the study note on 2Ti 3:17.) Jehovah equips his servants by means of holy spirit and his inspired Word. Also, he uses Jesus Christ, the “head of the congregation,” to direct, train, and strengthen them. (Eph 5:23) Thus, they could do “what is well-pleasing in [God’s] sight.”

      to whom be the glory forever and ever: Paul concludes this prayer by ascribing glory to God. Some of his other letters contain similar expressions. (Ro 11:36; 16:27; Ga 1:5; Eph 3:21; Php 4:20; 1Ti 1:17) Although some might think that Jesus is the one referred to here, the context indicates that these words refer to “the God of peace,” who is the subject of the sentence, the one “who brought up from the dead . . . our Lord Jesus.” (Heb 13:20) Jehovah is the one to whom all glory is to be given.​—Heb 13:15.

      Amen: See study note on Ro 1:25.
