‏ Romans 16:26

 But now is manifested ( φανερωθεντος δε νυν ). First aorist passive participle of  φανεροω, to make plain, genitive case in agreement with  μυστηριου.

 By the scriptures of the prophets ( δια γραφων προφητικων ). "By prophetic scriptures." Witnessed by the law and the prophets (3:21). This thread runs all through Romans.

 According to the command of the eternal God ( κατ' επιταγην του αιωνιου θεου ). Paul conceives that God is in charge of the redemptive work and gives his orders (1:1-5; 10:15f.). The same adjective  αιωνιος is here applied to God that is used of eternal life and eternal punishment in Mt 25:46.

 Unto obedience of faith ( εις υπακοην της πιστεως ). See 1:5.

 Made known unto all the nations ( εις παντα τα εθνη γνωρισθεντος ). First aorist passive participle of  γνωριζω, still the genitive case agreeing with  μυστηριου in verse 25.
