Mark 7:18-23
7:18 He said to them, “Are you so foolish? Don’t you understand that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him?
7:19 For it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer.” 1 (This means all foods are clean.) 2
7:20 He said, “What comes out of a person defiles him.
7:21 For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
7:22 adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly.
7:23 All these evils come from within and defile a person.”
