Romans 8:6

← Romans 8:5	Romans 8:6 (KJV)	Romans 8:7 →
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.	For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.	Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
