Verse 3 Weak through the flesh; unable to effect its object, on account of the corruption of the flesh, that is, of human nature.--For sin; as an offering for sin.--Condemned sin; deprived it of its power, considered metaphorically as the enemy and tyrant of man. The word condemned seems to be used in correspondence with the word condemnation, in the Romans 8:1; for the Romans 8:2,3 express the ground of the statement in the first,--the point being that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because, through his atonement, sin itself is condemned.
