Exegesis
The construction eis to poiēsai to thélēma autoû {εἰς τὸ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ | eis tò poiêsai tò thélēma autoû} is a telic eis with an articular infinitive expressing purpose: the goal of the equipping is to do His will.
The relative clause hôi hē dóxa eis toùs aiônas amḗn {ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀμήν | hôi hē dóxa eis toùs aiônas amḗn} serves as a doxology, with hôi functioning as a dative of possession and eis toùs aiônas indicating unending duration. In English, the infinitival and participial structures are rendered as finite imperatives and participles to maintain continuity with v20 and preserve the verse’s liturgical cadence.
In context — Hebrews 13:21
Equip you in every good thing to do His will, by working in us what is well-pleasing before Him through Jesus Christ . To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
