Roma 1:3

1:3 concerning his Son who was a descendant ¹  of David with reference to the flesh, ² 

¹ tn Grk “born of the seed” (an idiom).

² tn 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.
