But we may be able to grasp that still without understand the actual wording of Romans 8:3. By understanding the syntax we are able to receive a greater revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and God's Word. The verse can be broken down into two parts: "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh...": Q: What does this phrase mean?  A: On the face of it this verse seems to suggest that the law (the law being the ten commandments given to us
