7 Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:
7
Because the way of thinking of the basar is hostility, eyvah (enmity BERESHIS 3:15) toward G-d, for it does not submit itself to the Torah of G-d; for it cannot.
8 So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.
8
And those who are in the basar are not able to please Hashem.
