# For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did
|

Here the law is described as a person who could not break the power of sin. AT: "For the law did not have the power to stop us from sinning, because the power of sin within us was too strong. But God did stop us from sinning" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# through the flesh

|

|
"because of people's sinful nature"
|
|
|
|
# He ... sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh ... an offering for sin ... he condemned sin
|
|
|
|
The Son of God forever satisfied God's holy anger against our sin by giving his own body and human life as the eternal sacrifice for sin.
