The New Man

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should ^(A)no longer walk as ^[a]the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

⁵ For ^(A)those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, ^(B)the things of the Spirit.

⁷ Because ^(A)the ^[a]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^(B)nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

¹¹ then you shall say to them, ^(A)‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. ¹² And you have done ^(B)worse than your fathers, for behold, ^(C)each one ^[a]follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.

^33 (A)But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: ^(B)I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their ^[a]hearts; ^(C)and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
