³¹ So ^(A)they come to you as people do, they ^(B)sit before you as My people, and they ^(C)hear your words, but they do not do them; ^(D)for with their mouth they show much love, but ^(E)their hearts pursue their own gain.

²⁰ And He said, ^(A)“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. ^21 (B)For from within, out of the heart of men, ^(C)proceed evil thoughts, ^(D)adulteries, ^(E)fornications, murders, ²² thefts, ^(F)covetousness, wickedness, ^(G)deceit, ^(H)lewdness, an evil eye, ^(I)blasphemy, ^(J)pride, foolishness. ²³ All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

¹⁵ And He said to them, ^(A)“Take heed and beware of ^[a]covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

⁵ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ^(A)“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
