Romans 16:24 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 16:24

( Romans 16:25-27 ) are placed in some copies, at the end of ( Romans 16:14 ) , and omitted here, as they are by the Arabic version, which begins thus, "to the only most wise God, Jesus Christ": and so considers the following doxology as be, longing to Christ, and to him as God, and as the only most wise God.
