Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 8:5

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh : but they that are after the Spirit , the things of the Spirit .

i. e. That are carnal and unregenerate persons, in a meer natural estate.

i. e. That are spiritual and regenerate, in whom the Spirit dwells.

i. e. They mind Spiritual and Heavenly things, they relish them most of all. vid. Psal. 4.7. and 73.25.

Marginal references: 1 Cor. 2.14.; Either such things as are absolutely evil, and are called, The Iusts of the Flesh, Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. or else such things as are occasionally evil, as Riches, Honours, Pleasures, &c. These are also called the things of the Flesh, and are such as carnal persons mind. i. e. They savour, affect, and take delight in them.
