  2. J.R. Daniel Kirk _ Jesus Have I Loved, But Paul?:

    In Romans 1:3–4 Paul says something so surprising that most of our Bible translations refuse to print it. A literal translation reads as follows: the gospel promised by God "concerns his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was appointed Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from among the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord." When Paul says Jesus "was appointed Son of God," he means to say that Jesus became something that he was not before. Without denying Christ's preexistence, this passage asserts that something happens to the human Jesus when he is raised from the dead. Like the kings of Israel, Jesus becomes a son of God when he is enthroned to rule the world on God's behalf {see Ps. 2 and 2 Sam. 7}. Jesus's adoption and enthronement come at his resurrection.
