Romans 8:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In this verse we have an account of the different end of those that are carnal and spiritual, as in the former we had a description of their different carriage and disposition. For to be carnally minded is death; i.e. to be of that temper before described, Romans 8:5; to mind and affect the things of the flesh, doth cause death, or will end in it: the second or eternal death is chiefly intended. But to be spiritually minded; i.e. to mind and savour the things of the Spirit, to find a sweetness and excellency therein, so as that the bent and inclination of the mind shall be thereto. Is life and peace; it is the way to eternal life hereafter, and to a sound peace here, Psalms 119:165 Proverbs 3:17 Galatians 6:16.
