'Outward' in the Bible

You people judge by outward appearances; I do not judge anyone.

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,

We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who take pride in outward appearance and not in what is in the heart.

So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer.

You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.

They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.
