5 For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;
6 For, what is preferred by the flesh, life and peace;
7 Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it.
8 They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.
