‘To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.'

And the certainty of this promise is guaranteed by God's eternal dominion (1 Peter 3:22; 1 Peter 4:11; Psalms 22:28; Psalms 93:1; Psalms 97:1; Psalms 99:1). With God sovereign over all, what have His people to fear? Amen.

The similarity of this verse with 1 Peter 4:11 will be noted, although here ‘the glory' has been omitted. Having already described the glory in 1 Peter 5:10 he clearly wants the stress here putting on His dominion in the bringing of His people to that glory (compare and contrast Hebrews 2:10 where their bringing to glory is through Christ having been made a perfect Trek Leader through suffering). So we share in the glory and the dominion.
