Romans 8

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

5 Ref For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

6 Ref for the mind of the flesh `is' death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

7 Ref because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

8 Ref for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

9 Ref And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His;

World English Bible (WEB)

5 Ref 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, the things of the Spirit.

6 Ref For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

7 Ref because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

8 Ref Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

9 Ref But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
