Notes:
The Flesh- (ref: Unger’s Bible Dictionary) mere human nature, the earthly nature of man apart from Gods divine influence.
John 6:63 Human effort accomplishes nothing. 
Rom 8:8 so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 7:18 And I know that nothing good lives in me.
Rom 7:5  For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
I Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The Natural Man - In Hebrew natural means sensual, which is referring to the body and the physical senses.

1 Cor 2:14  But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

Jude 18-19
18 They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. 19 These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God's Spirit in them.

James 3:15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.

The Old Man or Outward Man

Eph 4:22 Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

Corrupt- your former life was corrupt and unclean; you lived in the pursuit of pleasure and happiness; you sought this in the gratification of the lusts of the flesh; and you were deceived by these lusts, and disappointed in your expectations. (There is no true pleasure and happiness without Christ.)
 

The Heart- is the innermost center of the natural condition of man.

Jer 17:9 "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?


Prov 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Who can know it?  A corrupt heart is the worst enemy a man can have; it is full of evil devices,-- of deceit, and abomination; and you don’t know what is in it till it boils over, Therefore, trust not in your heart, which purposes are continually changing, by motives of self-interest.

Matt 15:19  For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. 

Ps 58:2 No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.

Gen 6:5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.

Prov 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

The Carnal Mind- governed by mere human nature, not by the Spirit of God.

Matt 12:34
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Rom 7:18-8:2
18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God's law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
8 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 

We are sinners and dead without Jesus

Rom 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

Rom 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.

John 11:25 Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 

Eph 2:1 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins”;

Eph 2:5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)

Matt 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal”.
