Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Hebrews 13:21

καταρτίσαι. Τελειόω, the verb so often used to express “perfecting,” is here replaced by another verb—“may He fit” or “stablish” or “equip you.”

ποιῆσαι … ποιῶν. There is a play on the words “to do His will, doing in you.” There is a similar play on words in Philippians 2:13.

ᾦ ἡ δόξα κ.τ.λ. Lit., “to whom be the glory (which is His of right) unto the ages of the ages.” The same formula occurs in Galatians 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:18. The doxology may be addressed to Christ as in 2 Peter 3:18.
