For what [was] impossible [for] the law to do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming to be in the likeness of men.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among [the] Gentiles, believed on in the world, [and] was received up in glory.
