'Inner' in the Bible

Indeed, a sword will pierce your own soul, too, so that the inner thoughts of many people might be revealed."

But Jesus, knowing their inner thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

But give that which is within as charity [that is, acts of mercy and compassion, not as a public display, but as an expression of your faithfulness to God], and then indeed all things are clean for you.

Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
