It's probably just basic stuff, but this is what I thought of:
Man is a triune being, made up of three parts, made in the image of God, who is a triune being.
The body is that which covers us, the part people can see.
The body of God is Jesus Christ.
The soul is our inner self, our mind, our heart, our 'self'.
The soul of God is God the Father.
The spirit of man is that which gives him life, like the air in a tire.
The Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit, which indwells the believer.
A wise preacher once described the triune nature of man like a tire, with an innertube:
The outside tire is the body
The innertube is the soul
The air that fills it is the spirit.
