Paragraph 8.2

The Son of God, the second Person in the Holy Trinity, being very and eternal God, the brightness of the Father’s Glory, of one Substance, and equal with him; Who made the World, who upholdeth and governeth all things he hath made: Did, when the fulness of time was come, take upon him Man’s nature, with all the essential Properties, and common Infirmities thereof^a yet without Sin; being conceived by the Holy Spirit in the Womb of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit coming down upon her, and the Power of the most high overshadowing her^b and so was made of a Woman, of the Tribe of Judah, of the Seed of Abraham and David, according to the Scriptures: So that two whole, perfect, and distinct Natures, were inseparably joined together in one Person, without Conversion, Composition, or confusion; which Person is very God, and very Man, yet one^c Christ, the only Mediator between God and Man.^d

2. b. Romans 8:3; Hebrews 2:14, 16–17; 4:15

   Romans 8:3

   ^8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

   ^8:3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

   Hebrews 2:14; Hebrews 2:16–17

   ^2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; ^2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. ^2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

   ^2:14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, ^2:16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. ^2:17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

   Hebrews 4:15

   ^4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

   ^4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

   ^1:27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David.
