Exegesis
The verse begins with two parallel instrumental phrases, en dynamei sēmeiōn kai teratōn {ἐν δυνάμει σημείων καὶ τεράτων | en dynámei sēmeíōn kaí terátōn} ‘in the power of signs and wonders’ and en dynamei pneumatos {ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος | en dynámei pneúmatos} ‘in the power of the Spirit,’ where the preposition en with the dative conveys means and the genitives specify miraculous agency.
The geographic expression apo Ierousalēm kai kýklōi méchri toû Illyrikoû {ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλήμ καὶ κύκλῳ μέχρι τοῦ Ἰλλυρικοῦ | apó Ierousalḗm kaí kýklōi méchri toû Illyrikoû} indicates origin and extent—‘from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum’—linking the empowering source to the broad scope of the gospel’s proclamation.
In context — Romans 15:19
By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit , so that from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum I have fulfilled the gospel of Christ .
