Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:7
7. Carnal mind Or, rather, carnal minding; not the faculty of mind, but the course or body of carnal thought. Enmity The mass of carnal thinking is essential enmity against God. It may claim to revere the greatness and grandeur of the Infinite. But in its carnality it is at opposition against his holy law, even though that law is unseen, (note on Romans 7:9,) and though the opposition is not felt and known by the mind itself; and so it is intrinsic enmity against God. Men may hold a... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:8
8. Cannot please God From this a strange theology has inferred that even an unregenerate man’s complete resignation of sin and unregeneracy, and his effort and act of entire submission to God, though required by God, and encouraged by his promise and pardon, cannot be pleasing to God nor accepted by him! This theology declares that men must be regenerate before they can make the self-surrendering act of faith to God! But in truth that act of faith is the precedent condition in order to... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:10
10. Body is dead… Spirit is life We agree with Afford that the physical body is here intended. The indwelling Spirit of Christ not only sanctifies, but will quicken our body with a final glorifying life in the better resurrection. (Hebrews 11:35; Philippians 3:11.) The body is, in spite of regeneration, dead in its unreversed destiny of mortality; but the human spirit is still an immortal life, and the power that raises Jesus will gloriously raise all in whom dwells the spirit of... read more

13. Die The fulness of death that arises from carnality. The body Analogous to but not identical with the flesh. The very definition of appetites is those desires that spring from the body or physical system. To mortify them is to kill them so far forth as they are enmity to God. The flesh is a depravity not confined to the body, but including the entire tendency to sin. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:15
15. Again After having once been emancipated from it. Spirit of adoption Being adopted as children into God’s family, God has breathed into us the humble confidence of the child feeling himself at home in his father’s house. Abba, Father For the Hebrew and for the Greek our apostle furnishes this blessed word in both languages to indicate that both may claim the same divine paternity. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:16
16. Spirit itself In its own immediate person. Beareth witness with Testifies concurrently with. So that there are two witnesses, the divine and the human, testifying to the one fact. Children The Spirit testifies solely to this one fact, our being children of God. This special testimony cannot be quoted for other facts than our own sonship. If a tasteful lady desire to know whether her manners are becoming and graceful she observes herself and draws her conclusion, and that is the... read more
