Exegesis

The first relative clause Ois ouk anengelé peri autou {Οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ | Hoîs ouk anēngélē perì autoû} uses the dative relative pronoun Ois to mark those to whom proclamation should have gone but did not, with the aorist passive anengelé presenting their past state of not having had the message announced about the referent autou.

In contextRomans 15:21

But just as it has been written , “Those to whom it was not announced about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
