“For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. So, letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death, but letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.”

Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:8,9
