Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Romans 8:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. For —a mere particle of transition here [THOLUCK], like "but" or "now." to be carnally minded —literally, "the mind" or "minding of the flesh" ( Margin ); that is, the pursuit of fleshly ends. is death —not only "ends in" [ALFORD, c.], but even now "is" carrying death into its bosom, so that such are "dead while they live" ( 1 Timothy 5:6 ; Ephesians 2:1 ; Ephesians 2:5 ) [PHILIPPI]. but to be spiritually minded —"the mind" or "minding of the spirit"; that is, the pursuit of spiritual objects. is life and peace —not "life" only, in contrast with the "death" that is in the other pursuit, but "peace"; it is the very element of the soul's deepest repose and true bliss. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
