Romans 8:5-8 for they who are followers of flesh have their minds bent on the things of the flesh; but the followers of spirit, on the things of the spirit.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ for they who are followers of flesh have their minds bent on the things of the flesh; but the followers of spirit, on the things of the spirit. ⁶ For the bent of the flesh is death; but the bent of the spirit is life and peace. ⁷ Because the bent of the flesh is enmity to God, [for it is not in subjection to the law of God, nor indeed can be,] ⁸ they therefore who are in a carnal state cannot please God.
