It often contrasts with external appearances or actions, emphasizing the inner nature or condition of a person or thing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, as well as in Jewish thought, there was a significant emphasis on the distinction between the external and internal aspects of a person. The heart or inner being was often seen as the true measure of a person's character, beyond mere outward actions or appearances. This concept is reflected in various teachings of Jesus, who often highlighted the importance of inner purity and sincerity over external religious observance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2080.htm">esó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>from within<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>inside (6), inwardly (2), within (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2081: ἔσωθεν</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔσωθεν</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ἔσω</span>), adverb of place, from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; (1. adverbially;) <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">from within</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span> de intus, ab intus, intrinsecus, (etc.)): <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-21.htm">Mark 7:21, 23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-7.htm">Luke 11:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/7-5.htm">2 Corinthians 7:5</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">within</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 54, 7): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-15.htm">Matthew 7:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-25.htm">Matthew 23:25, 27, 28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/4-8.htm">Revelation 4:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/5-1.htm">Revelation 5:1</a> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">γράφω</span></span>, 3); <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἔσωθεν</span> <span class="greek2">ἄνθρωπος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/4-16.htm">2 Corinthians 4:16</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἔσω</span></span>, 2); <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἔσωθεν</span>, that which is within, the inside, <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-40.htm">Luke 11:40</a>; with the genitive of person equivalent to <span class="accented">your soul,</span> <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-39.htm">Luke 11:39</a>.
