Commentaries on Romans 7:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25I thank God through Jesus Christ - Instead of ͅ ͅ, I thank God, several excellent MSS., with the Vulgate, some copies of the Itala, and several of the fathers, read ̔ , or , the grace of God, or the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; this is an answer to the almost despairing question in the preceding verse. The whole, therefore, may be read thus: O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Answer - The grace of God through…Read the comment
