Romans 8:4

"For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,"

Key Reflection

Paul explains that while the law could not overcome the inherent weakness of human nature (the "flesh"), God sent His Son to address this problem. Through Jesus' life and sacrifice, He both embodied humanity's sinful nature and defeated it, thereby providing a means for salvation.
