Mark 7:18-23

MNT(i) 18 "Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him, 19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean. 20 "What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him. 21 From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes— 22 fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly— 23 all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
