Paul praises God’s grace, God’s Gospel, and God’s glory.

glory: splendor, majesty. God is absolutely perfect. (Romans 16, ²⁷ To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen).

2 Peter 3, ⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

John 3, ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God does not want anyone to go to hell.

only wise: There is none wiser than God. God put everything in place. (Romans 16, ²⁷ To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen).

Jude ²⁵ To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

God knew when He created man that Adam and Eve would fall into sin. Salvation comes through God. 

through: All that God has done for us is through His Son, Jesus Christ. (Romans 16, ²⁷ To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen).

John 14, ⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1 John 2, ¹ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

There is no other way to approach God except through Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 7, ²⁵ Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them).

To God be the glory.
