Mark 7:14-23
What Defiles a Man

14 And when he had called all the people [unto him], he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one [of you], and understand:

14:

15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

15:

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

17:

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, [it] cannot defile him;

18:

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

19:

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

20:

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

21:

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

22:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

23:
