Set Free From The Law Of Sin And Death

5 For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things. 6 Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace. 7 Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.
