The way I understand verse 26 connects with the way I understand verse 27, i.e. Jesus is talking of the sinful nature of man. He has already told us to "honor " our parents so verse 26 cannot contradict this and I do know the "cross " we are to carry is our sinful nature. Thus, it only makes sense He is talking about that part of man, i.e. the carnal minded one, that is out of harmony with a spiritual life.
