This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They that are (οἱ ὄντες)
Wider in meaning than walk, which expresses the manifestation of the condition expressed by are.
Do mind (φρονοῦσιν)
The verb primarily means to have understanding; then to feel or think (1Co 13:11); to have an opinion (Rom 12:3). Hence to judge (Act 28:22; Gal 5:10; Phi 3:15). To direct the mind to something, and so to seek or strive for (Mat 16:23, note; Phi 3:19; Col 3:2). So here. The object of their thinking and striving is fleshly.
