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. Without the Grace, favor, and peculiar help of God, he could not have been an apostle: he had an extraordinary conversion, and an extraordinary call to preach the Gospel. Probably , grace and apostleship, mean the same as , the apostolical office; for so the word means in Romans 12:3; Romans 15:15; 1 Corinthians 3:10; Ephesians 3:8. See the…Read the comment

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
