Paul answers, God has power: comp. the, powerful [able], ch. Rom 14:4 : and He will show the glory of this power, against which no one in the Gentile world can strive. There will then be a great work!-πάλιν, again) not only in [with] a smaller [comparatively small] number, as now, but in [with] a greater number, as formerly, when they were the people of God.
