Romans 8:5-8
New King James Version
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. 6 For (C)to be [a]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because (D)the [b]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, (E)nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

For (D)apart from the law sin was dead.
