Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 6:16

16 Who onely hath immortality , dwelling in the light , which no man can approach unto , whom no man hath seen , nor can see : to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen .

Of himself; our Souls, and Angels are Immortal from the gift of God, or Immortality signifies here, the same with Eternity, or Immutability.

Continually incompassed with a glory that is unspeakable, 1 Iohn 1.5.

To which no man can in this Life come nigh.

Nor did Moses or Stephen, Or any other ever see his glory, so as to comprehend it, or in the full perfection of it.

Nor can the Sons of men see him, with their bodily eyes, or so as to comprehend him in his perfection, though some have with their bodily eyes seen his back parts, and appearances, and with their Souls have through his Grace been enabled spiritually to behold him.

To which immortal, glorious, invisible God belongs, and let there for ever be given, honour and power.
