For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. |
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. |
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. |

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace, |
Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death – death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the (Holy) Spirit is life and soul-peace [both now and forever]. |
For to have the mind dominated by the sinful nature is death, but to have the mind dominated by the Spirit is life and peace; |
|
The former attitude means, bluntly, death: the latter means life and inward peace. |
For to be thinking the things suggested by the lower nature means death, but to be thinking the things suggested by the Spirit means life and peace. |
For 1063 to be carnally 4561 minded 5427 is death; 2288 but 1161 to be spiritually 4151 minded 5427 is life 2222 and 2532 peace. 1515 |
