Berean Study Bible

but glory
The word "glory" in Greek is "δόξα" (doxa), which conveys a sense of splendor, brightness, and magnificence. In a biblical context, it often refers to the divine presence and majesty of God. Here, it suggests the ultimate reward and recognition from God for those who live righteously. This glory is not just a future promise but a present reality for believers who reflect God's character in their lives.

honor
The Greek word for "honor" is "τιμή" (timē), which implies value, respect, and esteem. In the ancient world, honor was a crucial social currency, often determining one's place in society. Biblically, honor is given by God to those who live according to His will, signifying their worth and dignity in His eyes. It is a reminder that true honor comes from God, not from human accolades.

and peace
"Peace" is translated from the Greek "εἰρήνη" (eirēnē), which encompasses more than the absence of conflict. It signifies a state of wholeness, well-being, and harmony with God and others. This peace is a fruit of the Spirit and a hallmark of the Kingdom of God, reflecting the reconciliation and restoration brought by Christ.

for everyone who does good
The phrase "does good" is derived from the Greek "ἐργαζομένῳ τὸ ἀγαθόν" (ergazomenō to agathon), meaning to actively work or produce what is beneficial and morally excellent. This emphasizes the importance of actions in the Christian life, where faith is demonstrated through deeds. It underscores the biblical principle that genuine faith results in a life characterized by good works.

first for the Jew
The phrase "first for the Jew" acknowledges the historical and theological priority of the Jewish people in God's redemptive plan. The Jews were the first recipients of God's covenant and the bearers of His promises. This phrase highlights the continuity of God's plan from the Old Testament to the New, affirming that salvation is offered to the Jew first, respecting their foundational role in salvation history.

then for the Greek
"Then for the Greek" extends the promise of salvation and blessing to the Gentiles, symbolized by the Greeks. This reflects the inclusive nature of the Gospel, breaking down ethnic and cultural barriers. It signifies the universal scope of God's grace, affirming that all people, regardless of background, are invited to partake in the blessings of the Kingdom through faith in Christ.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 10, 11. - But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile (literally, Greek, as before): for there is no respect of persons with God (cf. Acts 10:34). This, with what follows, is important, as bringing out in a striking way the clear doctrine of the New Testament that the Jews had no monopoly of Divine favour with respect to final salvation. Whatever advantages certain races of mankind seem undoubtedly to have above others in this world (and that this has been, and is so, with other races as well as the Jews is obvious), all men are described as standing on an exactly equal footing at the bar of eternal equity.
