KJV:
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Comments:
God and our Father: Paul first uses a generic reference to God then a personal one. There is, of course, a reason that glory is unto God for eternity simply because of the fact that He is God. But, as should be expected in this letter (consider chapter 2:5-11, for instance), Paul also makes the point that the one unto whom glory flows forever is now personally related and committed to us as our own Father.

Expanded Paraphrase:
Glory to God for ages of ages. But also, glory to our own Father toward ages of ages. May it be so forever.
