Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe   

The glory of God appears, by the account given in Scripture, delight in which, the best part of the moral world, and when in their best frames, most naturally express the direct tendency of the Spirit of true goodness, the virtuous and pious affections of their heart. This is the way in which the holy apostles, from time to time, gave vent to the ardent exercises of their piety and breathed forth their regard to the Supreme Being: Romans 11:36: "To whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." Romans 16:27: "To God only wise, be glory, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen." Galatians 1:4-5: "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." 2 Timothy 4:18: "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."
