Romans 8:7

7The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

7because the mind 8:7 Lit of theset 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,

7because 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,

7the mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot,

7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

7The mind ruled by the power of sin is at war with God. It does not obey God’s law. It can’t.
