To own and stand up for a hated and despised truth will bring more comfort to our souls than all the pleasure the wicked have in their sensual delights.
While Greek anthropology kept clear distinctions between mind, soul, and body, Hebrew anthropology was more holistic—such elements were not clearly distinguishable and tended to blend into each other. It is perhaps best, therefore, to regard the inner person as consisting of all conceivable internal elements, such as what we would call the mind, the heart, and the soul. Or, as Best, summarizes, it expresses "the moral and spiritual side in people." Ephesians 3:16Pillar Commentary
As the soul is infinitely better than the body, and life eternal than life present, so the food of the soul is far better than that of the body, and the saving of the spiritual life better than the preservation of the temporal life.Puritan Meditations, Puritan Publications, 2024
Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.
