Romans 8
5   For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6   For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.
7   Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8   So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
--Saul (Paul) of Tarsus
