Romans 8:7

---

← Romans 8:6	Romans 8:7 (KJV)	Romans 8:8 →
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.	So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
