"Glory be to GOD!
HE is able to give you strength, according to the Good News I proclaim, announcing CHRIST JESUS.
Now is revealed the mysterious plan, kept hidden for long ages in the past.
By the will of the eternal GOD it is brought to light, through the prophetic books, and all nations shall believe the faith proclaimed to them.
Glory to GOD, who alone is wise, through CHRIST JESUS, for ever! Amen. - Romans 16:25-27
(The doctrine of the Church is the doctrine of the apostles, the witnesses of JESUS. There is as hierarchy, that is, a legally constituted authority, and Paul demands obedience in matters of faith.
The last sentence is a prayer of thanksgiving to GOD. It is similar to another prayer, more developed, with which HE begins the letter to the Ephesians.)
