Romanos 8:7

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Ver. 7. Because the carnal mind ] The best of a bad man is not only averse, but utterly adverse to all goodness. Homo est inversus decalogus, Job 11:12 , an ass’s foal for rudeness, a wild ass’s for unruliness.

Neither indeed can be ] Spiritual arguments to a carnal heart are but warm clothes to a dead man. He hath brought a miserable necessity of sinning upon himself: his soul and all the powers thereof being but the shop of sin; his body and all the parts thereof tools of sin; his life and all his actions of both soul and body a trade of sin.
