Exegesis
Finally, the circumstantial participle dunamenoi {δυνάμενοι | du-ná-me-noi} ‘being able’ plus the infinitive nouthetein {νουθετεῖν | nou-the-teîn} ‘to admonish’ expresses their ongoing capability or suitability to admonish, and the reciprocal pronoun allelous {ἀλλήλους | al-lḗ-lous} underscores the mutual, one-another nature of this ministry. The English renderings follow this progression from Paul’s confidence to the Romans’ moral character, their knowledge, and their competence, while arranging the clauses into a natural subject–verb–object order for clarity.
