Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Peter 5:11

To him toe glory. — “The Apostle,” says Leighton, “having added prayer to his doctrine, adds here, you see, praise to his prayer.” This is the true consolation in trouble, to extol the power of God. If His be the dominion, and He have called us to His glory, then what can we fear?
