Romans 8:5-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit^[a] set their minds on the things of the Spirit.^{[b] 6} To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit^[c] is life and peace. ⁷ For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law—indeed it cannot, ⁸ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
