Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 8:6

6 For to be carnally minded is death , but to be spiritually minded , is life and peace .

i. e. To be of that temper before described, v. 5. to mind and affect the things of the Flesh, doth cause [illegible: 1 letter]eath, or will end in it; the second or eternal death is chiefly intended.

i. e. to mind and savour the things of the Spirit, to find a sweetness and excellency therein, so as that the bent & inclination of the mind shall be thereto.

It is the way to Eternal Life hereafter, and to a sound peace here, Psal. 119.165. Prov. 3.17. Gal. 6.16.

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.
