Rom. 8 - Greek/English/Strong’s Interlinear

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
New American Standard Bible

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so;
New International Version

the sinful mind (or the mind set on the flesh) is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
The Amplified Bible

[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot.
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

because the mind dominated by the sinful nature is hostile to God, for it does not marshal itself under the command of the law of God, neither is it able to.
Phillips’ Modern English

And this is only to be expected, for the carnal attitude is inevitably opposed to the purpose of God, and neither can nor will follow His Law.
Williams’ Language of the People

Because one’s thinking the things suggested by the lower nature means enmity to God, for it does not subject itself to God’s law, nor indeed can it.
KJV with Strong’s Numbers

Because 1360 the 3588 carnal 4561 mind 5427 is enmity 2189 against 1519 God: 2316 for 1063 it is subject 5293 not 3756 to the 3588 law 3551 of God, 2316 neither 3761 indeed 1063 can be. 1410
