NASB | Romans 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:3 For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man's nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], [Lev 7:37] |
Subject: sinful flesh or flesh? |
Bible Note: No arguments here, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us". (John 1:14) We also read that God the Father "made Him, who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf." 2 Cor 5:21. I do not throw this in as a monkeywrench, because I would argue that this happened at the cross, at the time He was forsaken. (And this would also fit in to the "condemned sin in the flesh," come to think of it.) |
