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.
