This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But now is manifested (phanerōthentos de nun). First aorist passive participle of phaneroō, to make plain, genitive case in agreement with mustēriou.
By the scriptures of the prophets (dia graphōn prophētikōn). “By prophetic scriptures.” Witnessed by the law and the prophets (Rom 3:21). This thread runs all through Romans.
According to the command of the eternal God (kat' epitagēn tou aiōniou theou). Paul conceives that God is in charge of the redemptive work and gives his orders (Rom 1:1-5; Rom 10:15.). The same adjective aiōnios is here applied to God that is used of eternal life and eternal punishment in Mat 25:46.
Unto obedience of faith (eis hupakoēn tēs pisteōs). See note on Rom 1:5.
Made known unto all the nations (eis panta ta ethnē gnōristhentos). First aorist passive participle of gnōrizō, still the genitive case agreeing with mustēriou in Rom 16:25.
