Dear Mark and all,

Thank you for your response to my questions regarding Romans 1:16 (and
for correcting my English).  I have learned more about English by
studying Greek than I did studying English in school.  If I may ask two
more questions regarding Romans 1:16 I would appreciate it.  

Rom 1:16:  "OU  GAR  EPAISCHUNOMAI  TO EUANGELION  DUNAMIS GAR  THEOU 
ESTIN  EIS  SOTERIAN  PANTI  TO PISTEUONTAI  IUDAIO  TE  PROTON  KAI 
hELLENI."

1. I asked-- "What is the antecedent of  ESTIN?" 

Mark said-- "The gospel."  "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it (the
gospel) is the power (predicate nominative, agreeing with "it.")"

Q's-- 1) How do we know that the power (DUNAMIS) is the predicate
nominative and  2) that ESTIN refers back to EUAGGELION?

 
Thank you in advance.
 
God bless,
Glen Naftaniel
