⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

⁴ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

¹⁸ Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

¹⁹ Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

²¹ And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

⁴ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
