"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
— 1 Timothy 1:17 (NIV)
People who search bible verses about King eternal want Scripture on the 1 Timothy 1:17 doxology — basileus tōn aiōnōn / the King of the ages — not only King of kings alone (Revelation 19:16 / 1 Timothy 6:15), and not King of glory alone (Psalm 24). This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about King of kings, Bible verses about Lord of Lords, Bible verses about King of glory, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. King eternal here means 1 Tim 1:17's doxology Name and related everlasting-king lines — distinct from King-of-kings / King-of-glory lists alone.
Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "king" is βασιλεύς basileus (Strong's G935; Bible Hub G935) — king, sovereign. "Eternal" / "of the ages" is from αἰών aiōn (Strong's G165; Bible Hub G165) — age, forever. Together in 1 Timothy 1:17 they name God basileus tōn aiōnōn — the King eternal / King of the ages — immortal, invisible, the only God. This list tracks that doxology title and related everlasting-king lines, not every king verse and not King of kings / King of glory alone.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Timothy 1 presses Paul's doxology — to the King eternal, immortal, invisible — as praise rising from mercy received (Bible Hub MHC 1 Timothy 1; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on 1 Timothy 1). (King of kings and King of glory live on those pages; this list centers the King-eternal doxology.)
