Glen,
You will note that EPAISCUNOMAI is a first person singular, so how could
EUAGGELION be the subject? The subject is Paul. The second clause might be
analyzed ESTIN --> DUNAMIS QEOU, with the subject being the inflected 3rd
pers sing inflection of ESTIN. The antecedent of ESTIN is EUAGGELION.
greetings,
Clay
