For in this he laid the foundation of the Epistle, and in this he putteth on the roof, at once praying for the mother of all good things for them, and calling the whole of his loving-kindness to their mind. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
At the beginning or foundation of his epistle he placed the following words: "grace to you and peace" (Rom. 1:7). And now, setting the boundary or end of the epistle, he concludes with the same, praying that the grace of God may always abide with all the Romans.

Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
