Matthew 15:17-20 ▼

17 Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?

18 But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;

19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:

20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
