Romans 8:7 in Context — Romans 8

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.

8 Or ceux qui vivent selon la chair ne sauraient plaire à Dieu.

9 Pour vous, vous ne vivez pas selon la chair, mais selon l’esprit, si du moins l’Esprit de Dieu habite en vous. Si quelqu’un n’a pas l’Esprit de Christ, il ne lui appartient pas.
