Because the carnal mind (phronema) is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of god, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you...” 4.

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind (phroneo)the same thing...(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind (phroneo) earthly things.)” 14.
