Here is my understanding. Sometimes I goof up here
and there, so hopefully someone will correct me if
I am incorrect.
-------
>I am trying to better understand Rom 1:16: "OU GAR EPAISCHUNOMAI TO
>EUANGELION DUNAMIS GAR THEOU ESTIN EIS SOTERIAN PANTI TO
>PISTEUONTAI IUDAIO TE PROTON KAI hELLENI."
---------
>I have always thought that EUANGELION was the subject. Why is
>"EUANGELION" in the Accusative?
------
(This is rather insignificant, but above you say "to better
understand." That is a split infinitive. It's best to avoid those.)
Now, to your questions:
The gospel is what Paul is not ashamed of. The subject is "I" which
you see in the verb's first person singular, OMAI.
I am not ashamed of what? The gospel. Hence, the gospel is
in the accusative.
Is "DUNAMIS" the subject?
No. See below.
Is the
>subject in "EPAISCHUNOMAI"?
Yes, as stated above. (It's the subject of 16a)
And lastly what is the antecedent of
>"ESTIN"? Thank you in advance.
The gospel.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it (the gospel)
is the power (predicate nominative, agreeing with "it.")
Hope that helps.
