Romans 8:6 Context
4That the righteousnesse of the law might be fulfilled in vs, who walke not after the flesh, but after the spirit. 5For they that are after the flesh, doe minde the things of the flesh: but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. 6For to be carnally minded, is death: but to be spiritually minded, is life and peace: 7Because the carnall minde is enmitie against God: for it is not subiect to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.
