1 Timothy 1:17
17 Now [de] unto the King [basileus] eternal, [aion] immortal, [aphthartos] invisible, [aoratos] the only [monos] wise [sophos] God, [theos] be honour
[time] and [kai]
glory [doxa] for [eis] ever [aion] and ever. [aion] Amen. [amen] KJV-Interlinear
17 Now to the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. NASB
Paul ends this passage with
a praise description of Jesus Christ.
King the foundation
of absolute power and sovereignty.
Eternal a period of
time, an era, which has no beginning and no end.
Immortal no limitations,
no decay or decline, no corruptibility, a state of continuance in stability.
Invisible incapable of
being seen by human means, in the spiritual sense, undetectable by human
methods.
Only wise God only means
single, one and only, excludes everyone and everything else. There is no other.
Wise means knowledge,
understanding, omniscient, all knowing.
God is the highest
possible being.There is no other,
higher, smarter, better, etc. than God.
Honor respect,
distinguished, reputable.Perfect
reputation.
Glory magnificence,
perfection, splendor, brilliance.
And so this is the description
of Jesus Christ, of whom many religions reject, diminish, or ignore, who Himself
is the only God, the only wise God, who is eternal and perfect, all powerful
and sovereign of the universe and more.
And now to Him who is
able to keep you from falling, and to present you without blemish, before the
presence of His glory, with exceeding joy.
To the only wise God, even Jesus Christ our Lord. To whom be glory and majesty, dominion and power, before time, now
and forever.Amen. Believe it, because it is so.
