4 Bible Verses about Inner Being

For we know that the Law is spiritual; but as for me, I am a creature of flesh, bought and sold under the dominion of sin. For what I perform I know not; what I practise is not what I intend to do, but what I detest, that I habitually do. If then I habitually do what I do not intend to do, I am consenting to the Law, that it is right.read more.
And now it is longer I myself who do the deed, but it is sin which has its home in me. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, no good thing has its home; for while to will is present with me, to carry out that which is right is not. For the good that I intend to do, I do not; but the evil which I do not; but the evil which I do not intend to do, that I am ever practising. But if I do the very thing I do not intend to do, it is no more I who practise it, but sin which has its home in me. I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me. For in my inmost self I delight in the law of God; but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties. Oh, wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this slave of death? Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thralldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thralldom to the law of sin.

But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself. On every side I am hard pressed, yet not hemmed in; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.read more.
Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine. For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh. So while death is working in me, life is working in you. But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak. For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence. For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God. For this reason, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being renewed, day by day. For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal.

Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses; but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.

praying him to grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inmost being; that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love, that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"read more.
and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.
