Commentary

Make you perfect--properly said of healing a rent; join you together in perfect harmony [BENGEL]. to do his will, working in you-- (Heb 10:36); rather as Greek, "doing in you." Whatever good we do, God does in us. well-pleasing in his sight-- (Isa 53:10; Eph 5:10). through Jesus Christ--"God doing (working) in you that . . . through Jesus Christ" (Phi 1:11). to whom--to Christ. He closes as he began (Heb 1:1-14), with giving glory to Christ.
