Theological / Devotional

Now is made manifest. That is, since the coming of Jesus (see DA 22, 23; cf. 2 Tim. 1:9, 10; Titus 1:2, 3).

The scriptures. It is through these that the mystery of God has been “made known to all nations.” God’s plan of saving men by faith in Jesus Christ has been predicted by and is in full accordance with the teachings of the OT (see chs. 1:1, 2; 3:21).

According to the commandment. The messengers of the gospel are called to their work by God’s command (see Acts 13:2; Rom. 10:15). Paul believed he had been directly commissioned to preach to the Gentiles (Rom. 1:1,5).

For the obedience of faith. Or, “to bring about obedience to the faith,” or “to win them to the obedience that springs from faith” (see on ch. 1:5).
