Romans 8:5
They that are after the flesh. The unconverted. Those still in a
state of nature. These are put in contrast with the converted,
believers, who
are after the Spirit. These classes are easily distinguished.
The first obeys the dictates of the flesh; the other obeys the dictates
of the Spirit.
The things of the Spirit are not revealed to us by internal
impulses, but by the words of the Spirit, the Holy Scriptures. The
indwelling Spirit helps the new man in Christ to keep these words.
