V. 21.— Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom he glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Make you perfect in every good work.— Thus He prays for their progress, for their growth in grace, and increasing conformity to their great pattern and example.
Working in you...— Believers are God’ s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. They were at first created in Adam; but they are born of the Spirit, and possess a new and divine nature, derived from their glorious Head; and, as they were at first changed into the image of Christ by the contemplation of His glory, the transformation proceeds till they see Him as He is, and are completely conformed to Him.
