Self

Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.

…to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

…and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

…and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
