    • 8:3

      weak through the flesh: That is, the imperfect flesh of those who tried to observe the Mosaic Law. Even the high priests were imperfect and were therefore unable to offer an adequate sacrifice for sin. So the Law could not save sinners. Rather, it highlighted the weaknesses of the imperfect people who tried to observe it. (Ro 7:21-25; Heb 7:11, 28; 10:1-4) In this respect, the Law was “weak through the flesh.”
