Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
All Commentaries on Romans 8:12 Go To Romans 8
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
T with spiritual vigour, lest, while we are turned back again to the conversation of the old man, we be entangled in deadly snares, even as the apostle, with foresight and wholesomeness, forewarned us of this very thing, and said: "Therefore, brethren, let us not live after the flesh; for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall begin to die; but if ye, through the Spirit, mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God."
