- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25To the only wise God - See the Romans 16:27 note; 1 Timothy 1:17 note.

You is in contradistinction to those ungodly men mentioned above. keep ... from falling--rather, "guard ... (so as to be) without falling," or stumbling. faultless--Greek, "blameless." before the presence of his glory--that is, before Himself, when He shall be revealed in glory. with exceeding joy--literally, "with exultation" as of those who leap for joy.Read the comment
