Exegesis
Following this, eis hypakoēn pisteōs {εἰς ὑπακοὴν πίστεως | eis hypakoḕn písteōs} expresses the purpose of eliciting a faith-based obedience, and eis panta ta ethnē {εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη | eis pánta tà éthnē} extends the scope universally to all nations. In rendering, the aorist participles are conveyed as perfect forms in English to maintain their completed-yet-ongoing significance, and the purpose clauses are translated with ‘for’ and ‘so that’ to clarify their teleological function.
In context — Romans 16:26
But now, in accordance with the commandment of the eternal God , it has been revealed through the prophetic Scriptures and made known to all the nations for the obedience of faith .
