αὐτῷ here refers to God whereas in 1 Peter 4:11 the doxology was probably addressed to Christ.

Probably ἐστίν not ἔστω should be understood, as ἐστίν is found in 1 Peter 4:11 but no verb is expressed in any of the other doxologies in the N.T. and some of them are apparently precatory. So here the R.V. renders “to Him be the dominion,” etc. The T.R. inserts ἡ δόξα καὶ from 1 Peter 4:11.

κράτος is only used of God in the N.T. It occurs only in one of St Paul’s doxologies, 1 Timothy 6:16, but is found in Jude 1:25; Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:13.
