In truth, the people who are actively being according to flesh (existing with the physical fleshy body and its soul/breath life, but lacking holy spirit life)…
·
think the-things of the flesh (they have their mind’s thoughts on the
things pertaining-to or proceeding-from the flesh, the physical realm),
…but the people who are being according to spirit (referring to all holy-people, true Christians, because we have holy spirit-life within us)…
·
think the-things of the spirit (we have thoughts in our minds that are
things pertaining-to and proceeding-from God’s spirit realm via the holy spirit
within us),
…for the thinking of the flesh (the end-product of the flesh’s action of thinking, the thoughts produced in/by the mind of flesh)…
·
is death (results in death; there is no life)
…but the thinking of the spirit (the end-product of the spirit’s action of thinking, the thoughts produced in/by the mind of spirit)…

and peace (tranquil harmony, tranquility, peaceful wholeness, without

subjection to His law, and it does not submit itself to, it is not submissive
to, in submission, arranged in the position of being under God’s law, what God
makes-known to be the right and correct way of living, which is the way that
God set it up, how He divided-out and administers His words to be customarily
and rightly used among us; refer to Romans 7:22)
·
for neither is it able (it does not have the ability, able-power,
capability to be subject to the law of God),
…and the people being in flesh (those who do not have holy spirit-life within them and so their thinking and actions exclude God’s spirit realm)…
·
are not able to please God (they cannot
please Him, they do not have the ability, able-power, capability to give
pleasure, to be agreeable, acceptable, gratifying to God).
