Mark 7:18-22 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,

19. since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

20. And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

21. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22. coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
