Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now unto God and our Father,.... To God, who is our Father in Christ,

[be] glory for ever and ever, Amen; for all the grace he gives now, and for all the glory and happiness expected hereafter; for the supply of every want both temporal and spiritual; seeing every good gift comes from him, and is to be ascribed to his free grace and favour, and not to any deserts of men: and particularly he may mean for what they had sent him, and he had received from them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Now unto God and our Father, ... - see the notes at Romans 16:27. It was common for Paul to address such an ascription of praise to God, at the close of his epistles.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 20. Now unto God and our Father — God is our Father in Christ Jesus; and such pity as a father hath for his children, such has the Lord for them that fear him; as a father is concerned for the support and life of his children, so is God concerned for you. A father may be poor, and unable to help his most beloved children; God, your Father, is infinite in his riches of his grace and glory, and out of his abundance we have all received, and grace for grace. Therefore, to God our Father, be glory for ever and ever!
