I am saying that the context of the passage is that God is still on the side of national Israel, and their Messiah has come, through their lineage. Paul’s work in Romans was to grab Israel and to try to bring them into the Kingdom and to keep them from leaving once in.
This man is God in flesh, whose name is Jesus. It doesn’t make any difference regarding commas. Are we seriously going to get hung up on this powerful truth Paul is telling because of a comma? Do we suppose Paul focused on that while evangelizing?
No, he met God on the road to Damascus, laid down his life to tell that truth. It would still be the truth of the story with or without commas. Hang the comma. Who cares?
