I misrepresented myself, and should have said "not qualified by  
hAMARTIAS. Sorry,

3. My view, that I am trying on for size, that it is the human body
as a creation of God. However, this does not rule out its use as a
metonym, just that, in this case it is not qualified by hAMARTIAS. I  
have
no dispute with seeing SWMA in Romans as a metonym for the human
being, created by God for immortality, but weakened through slavery
to sin to the point of mortality. My view is closer to Harold's
insofar as both of us see SWMA as referring to the human body.
