Commentaries on Romans 1:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Grace and apostleship - The peculiar influence and the essential qualifications which such an office requires.

By whom--as the ordained channel. we have received grace--the whole "grace that bringeth salvation" (Tit 2:11). and apostleship--for the publication of that "grace," and the organization of as many as receive it into churches of visible discipleship. (We prefer thus taking them as two distinct things, and not, with some good interpreters, as one--"the grace of apostleship"). for obedience to the faith--rather, "for the obedience of faith"--that is, in…Read the comment
