among.
for his name.
 The obedience of faith (not obedience to the law). (Romans 1:1-17 by J.N. Darby)
 He carries, by grace and as grace, the message of grace to men wherever they may be, the grace which comes in all the largeness of the rights of God over men. (Romans 1:1-17 by J.N. Darby)
 “Obedience to the faith” refers not to practice but to believing the gospel. “Obeyed the gospel” (ch. 10:16). “The obedience of faith” (ch. 16:26). “Obey not the gospel” (2 Thess. 1:8). “Obedient to the faith” (Acts 5:32; 6:7). (Help on Hard Verses by A.C. Brown)
 By adding the phrase, "For the obedience of faith," Paul made it clear that the blessings which the gospel promises are only realized by those who have faith to believe the message. (Opening Salutations: Romans 1:1-17 by B. Anstey)
