Romans 8:5 in Context — Romans 8

3 Car chose impossible à la loi, parce que la chair la rendait sans force, Dieu a condamné le péché dans la chair, en envoyant, à cause du péché, son propre Fils dans une chair semblable à celle du péché,

4 et cela afin que la justice de la loi fût accomplie en nous, qui marchons, non selon la chair, mais selon l’esprit.

5 Ceux, en effet, qui vivent selon la chair, s’affectionnent aux choses de la chair, tandis que ceux qui vivent selon l’esprit s’affectionnent aux choses de l’esprit.

6 Et l’affection de la chair, c’est la mort, tandis que l’affection de l’esprit, c’est la vie et la paix;

7 car l’affection de la chair est inimitié contre Dieu, parce qu’elle ne se soumet pas à la loi de Dieu, et qu’elle ne le peut même pas.
