<p> ''''' in´wẽrd ''''' : A P auline term, nearly identical with the "hidden man of the heart" ( 1 Peter 3:4 ). The Greek original, ὁ ἒσω (also ἒσωθεν )ἂνθρωπος , <i> ''''' ho ésō ''''' </i> ( <i> ''''' ésōthen ''''' </i> ' <i> ánthrōpos </i> ( Romans 7:22 ) is lexigraphically defined "the internal man," i.e. "soul," "conscience." It is the immaterial part of man - mind, spirit - in distinction from the "outward man" which "perishes" ( 2 Corinthians 4:16 the King James Version). As the seat of spiritual influences it is the sphere in which the [[Holy]] Spirit does His renewing and saving work ( Ephesians 3:16 ). The term "inward man" cannot be used interchangeably with "the new man," for it may still be "corrupt," and subject to "vanity" and "alienated from the life of God." [[Briefly]] stated, it is mind, soul, spirit - G od's image in man - man's higher nature, intellectual, moral, and spiritual. </p> | <p> ''''' in´wẽrd ''''' : A P auline term, nearly identical with the "hidden man of the heart" ( 1 Peter 3:4 ).
