Rom 1:3 | NETfull | STEP | concerning his Son who was a descendant of David with reference to the flesh,

Romans 1:3

3 concerning his Son who was a descendant ^{▼▼ Grk “born of the seed” (an idiom).} of David with reference to the flesh, ^{▼▼ Grk “according to the flesh,” indicating Jesus’ earthly life, a reference to its weakness. This phrase implies that Jesus was more than human; otherwise it would have been sufficient to say that he was a descendant of David, cf. L. Morris, Romans, 44.}
