2 Peter 3:18

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Finally, just as he ends the first epistle with a prayer, so also in the second he asks for their growth in the faith of the Lord.

Western Saints

Bede

To Him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Glory always to the Savior God and our Lord, both now when amidst the daily pressures of adversities we still, placed in the flesh, wander far from Him, and especially then when He, long desired by all nations, coming, will have deigned to illuminate us with the presence of His vision. Meanwhile, because we sigh, we rightly and diligently sing: For one day in your courts is better than a thousand (Psalm 83).
