Around us versus around of us (inside us versus inside of us)
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
God's signs are all-around us as well as inside us.
versus
God's signs are all-around of us as well as inside of us.
Question
Is any of the above sentences ungrammatical? If both are grammatical, what is the difference? I did a Google search but did not come up with anything useful. Google Ngram search shows that around of us exists, but compared to around us, it is negligible.

There is no need for the hyphen in all around. When I Googled inside of, the first result was english.stackexchange.com/questions/61930/inside-of-vs-inside . Both ofs are unnecessary, though sometimes used in colloquial speech.

I would go so far as to say that of is never required when inside is a preposition (rather than a noun), however common "inside of us" might be. It's at best pleonastic and at worst actually ungrammatical.
