What does the Bible say about being a two-natured man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes a two-natured person as one who possesses both a new nature created in Christ and an old sinful nature inherited from Adam.

The concept of the two-natured man arises from the understanding that in Christ, every believer receives a new nature that craves righteousness and holiness, yet simultaneously retains the old nature characterized by depravity and sin. This duality is expressed in Ephesians 4:22-24, which urges believers to put off the old self and to be renewed in their minds, while Galatians 5:13-17 indicates that these two natures are in constant conflict with each other. Believers live in tension, experiencing a desire for righteousness while contending with the sinful impulses of their flesh, as Paul articulates in Romans 7:21-25.
