Romans 8:8 Context
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. 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man haue not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10And if Christ in you, the body is dead because of sinne: but the spirit is life, because of righteousnesse.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 8:8
Ro 8:8 So then. The result naturally follows that a "carnally-minded man" (Ro 8:6), one "in the flesh" and under its dominion, cannot please God. This is impossible while he continues to mind the things of the flesh.
