romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. - Free Bible Online

romans 8:6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,


      6. For--a mere particle of transition here [THOLUCK], like "but" or "now."
      to be carnally minded--literally, "the mind" or "minding of the flesh" (Margin); that is, the pursuit of fleshly ends.
      is death--not only "ends in" [ALFORD, &c.], but even now "is"; carrying death into its bosom, so that such are "dead while they live" (1Ti 5:6; Eph 2:1, 5) [PHILIPPI].
      but to be spiritually minded--"the mind" or "minding of the spirit"; that is, the pursuit of spiritual objects.
      is life and peace--not "life" only, in contrast with the "death" that is in the other pursuit, but "peace"; it is the very element of the soul's deepest repose and true bliss.
