6 Bible Verses about Inner Being

For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am fleshly and sold under sin. I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do. But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.read more.
Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me. I know that good does not live in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it. I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me. I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have. My inner person delights in the law of God. However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body. Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death? Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.

I admit my transgressions. My sin is always in front of me. I have sinned against you, especially you. I have done what you consider evil in your sight. So you hand down justice when you speak, and you are blameless when you judge. Indeed, I was born in perversity (mischief) (evil). I was a sinner when my mother conceived me.read more.
Yet, you desire truth from the secret person within me. Deep down inside me teach me wisdom.

We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the power beyond what is normal may be from God, and not from ourselves. We are pressed (afflicted) (troubled) on every side, but not crushed. We are perplexed yet not to despair. We are persecuted, yet not forsaken. We are struck down, yet not destroyed.read more.
We always carry in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death works in us, but life in you. But having the same spirit (attitude) of faith, according to that which is written, I believe, and therefore I speak. We also believe, and therefore we also speak. We know that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you. All things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. We do not give up! Though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. Our light affliction is for the moment. It works more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory for us. We do not look at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen. For the things that are seen are temporal (for a season). But the things that are not seen are eternal.

Your appearance should not come from the outward adornment, things like braiding the hair, and wearing jewels of gold, or wearing fine apparel. Let your appearance be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit. This is of great value in the sight of God.

But Jehovah said to Samuel: Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature. I have rejected him. God does not see as man sees. Man looks at the outward appearance. Jehovah looks at the heart (inner man).

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man.

May you be able to comprehend with all the holy ones the breadth and length and height and depth.read more.
And may you know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. May you be filled with all the fullness of God.
