Romans 8:6
Romans 8:5-8 The Message (MSG)
Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.
Romans 8:6 King James Version (KJV)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:6 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace
Romans 8:6 New Century Version (NCV)
If people’s thinking is controlled by the sinful self, there is death. But if their thinking is controlled by the Spirit, there is life and peace.
Romans 8:6 American Standard Version (ASV)
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace
Romans 8:6 New International Version (NIV)
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever]
Romans 8:6 New Living Translation (NLT)
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
