This site's exposition

the God of all grace

on 1 Peter 5:10-11

The letter's suffering-and-glory thread ties off in one sentence: the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, and the while is oligon, a little, measured against eternal glory. Four verbs then build the sufferer like a wall, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle, the first the mending word katartizo and the last a foundation verb, themelioo. The doxology follows as the only fit response, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.

Now the God of all grace - By which alone the whole work is begun, continued, and finished in your soul. After ye have suffered a while - A very little while compared with eternity.

If He does so in punishing, much more in grace. The three are fitly conjoined: the call, the glory to which we are called, and the way (suffering); the fourth is the ground of the calling, namely, the grace of God in Christ. by--Greek, "in." Christ is He in virtue of whom, and in union with whom, believers are called to glory.
