Romans 16:27 - Exposition

To God only wise, through Jesus Christ, be glory for ever. Amen . The great preponderance of ancient authorities, including all uncials but B, have "to God only wise." But the intended sense is not affected by the insertion, the ascription of glory being still to the only wise God, and not to Jesus Christ. Otherwise there would be no sequence to τῷ δυναμένῳ and μόνῷ σοφῷ θεῷ . "In the lively pressure of the great intermediate thoughts connected with the mention of the gospel, Romans 16:25 , Romans 16:26 , the syntactic connection has escaped the apostle" (Meyer)
