Romans 8:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the Spirit is life and peace,
7 [b]Because the wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God: [c]for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 [d]So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.
