“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;”
Regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David. Jesus is presented through the lens of Jewish messianic expectation—the Son of David, the rightful king of Israel according to the flesh (kata sarka). This phrase honors the historical reality of the incarnation while preparing for the next verse's assertion of divine power and resurrection. Paul does not diminish Jesus' humanity but situates it within the context of Israel's covenantal hopes.
