Amen!
Great passages!
People think walking after the flesh means they are sinning and lying and committing fornication and adultery. They are indeed FLESHLY things. lol. But Paul was trying to say that exerting fleshly effort to do His will is also waking after the flesh. When we set our minds on fleshly things, the context is talking about thinking of serving God USING FLESHLY MIGHT. It's not by power nor by might, but but God's Spirit!
