Romans 8:5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
Flesh cares for flesh. The man who is all body cares only for the body. The man, whose mind is under subjection to his body, minds "the things of the flesh."
Romans 8:5. But they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Where the Holy Ghost is Supreme where the spiritual world has become predominant over the heart and life. There, men live for something nobler than the worldly man’s trinity, "What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed?" The carnal life is only becoming to a beast, or a bird, or an insect. But when a man cares for his immortal spirit, and lives for divine and spiritual things, he has attained to the life that is life indeed.
