Matthew 15:18-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ But ^(A)the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person. ^19 (B)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and ^[a]slanderous statements. ²⁰ These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”
