Romans 8:7

Set Free From The Law Of Sin And Death

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. ⁸ And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.
