for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

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

for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly -- as to babes in Christ;

for yet ye are fleshly, for where there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk? for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I -- of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great is it if we your fleshly things do reap?

For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon them.

Beloved, I call upon you, as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
