This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





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, Rom_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, Psa_119:165 Pro_3:17 Gal_6:16.
