Exegesis
Ek tes koilias autou {ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ | ek tēs koi-lí-as au-toû} marks the source as interior to the believer; koilia {κοιλία | koi-lí-a} can denote the belly, but here the idiom points to the inner self.
Root and etymology

In context — John 7:38
The one who believes in Me , just as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from his inner being.
