Romans 8:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For The Way of The Flesh Is Death. But You Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit
5 For the ones being[a] in accordance with the flesh are thinking[b] the things of [c] the flesh, but the ones being in accordance with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the way-of-thinking of the flesh is death, but the way-of-thinking of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 Because the way-of-thinking of the flesh is hostility toward God; for it is not subject[d] to the Law of God, for it is not even able.
