1 Peter 5:10,11

1 Peter 5:10-11 And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen[31] you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

[31] Many manuscripts add the word settle (themelioo). Its meaning is: firmly establish, ground, render firm and unwavering, make stable. It is omitted in the Vatican and Alexanderian manuscripts, but included in the Sinaitic and other manuscripts and versions. Nestle's text includes it, but most modern translations omit it.

Expanded Translation

And after you have suffered a little (while), the God of all grace, favor, and kindness, who called you into his eternal glory in Christ (or, by Christ), shall himself put you in proper order, confirm, strengthen you. To him be the might and dominion for ever and ever (literally, unto the ages of the ages). Amen.

And the God of all grace

All the blessings of our lives we can trace to God's goodness (James 1:17). Salvation, that grace by which we are saved, comes from him as its Author and Source.

after that ye have suffered a little while

Literally, a little. The word may refer to the degree, as well as to the duration, of the sufferings. They are transient and passing; the glory is eternal. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17).

shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you

Here is what God can do!

PERFECTkatartizo. This word basically means to finish, complete, or repair. It is used in the account of the calling of Peter, Andrew, James and John, by the Sea of Galilee, when the latter two were in the boat with Zebedee, their father, mending (katartizontas) their nets. That is, they were putting them in good shape. God will repair, adjust, and place in proper order what is lacking or maladjusted in the character of his people, if we will conscientiously strive to adhere to his word. He can make us fit vessels for the tasks he has given us to accomplish!

ESTABLISHsterizo, Literally, to set up, fix firmly, support. (And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed. Luke 16:26.) Figuratively, it means to confirm, establish, or strengthen. Jesus had said to this very apostle, When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren (Luke 22:32), employing this same word.

STRENGTHENsthenoo, a word similar in meaning to the previous: to make strong, put strength into.

to him be the dominion for ever and ever

See also 1 Peter 4:11. This seems to be a spontaneous outburst of praise, honor, and glory to God, straight from the heart of the apostle.
