Study Note

The closing doxology — 'but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen' — brings together the two antidotes to false teaching proposed throughout 2 Peter: knowledge (gnōsis, deeply engaged understanding of Christ) and grace (received, not earned). The call to 'grow' (auxanete) in both indicates that Christian maturity is not a fixed state but a continuing trajectory, contrasting with the false teachers' claim to have arrived. The doxology addressed to Christ — 'to him be the glory' — is one of the New Testament's most direct ascriptions of glory to Jesus rather than the Father, consistent with the high Christology of 2 Peter's description of Jesus as 'our God and Savior' (1:1). The temporal span 'now and to the day of eternity' creates an eschatological horizon that grounds present growth in the permanent glory of Christ.
