Romans 8:8
Romans 8:8 New International Version (NIV)
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:5-8 The Message (MSG)
Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.

For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.
