Mark 7:10-23
New King James Version
10 For Moses said, (A)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (B)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, (C)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
14 (D)When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and (E)understand: 15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that (F)defile a man. 16 (G)If[a] anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 (H)When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 So He said to them, (I)“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, [b]thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, (J)“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 (K)For from within, out of the heart of men, (L)proceed evil thoughts, (M)adulteries, (N)fornications, murders, 22 thefts, (O)covetousness, wickedness, (P)deceit, (Q)lewdness, an evil eye, (R)blasphemy, (S)pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

Leviticus 18:6-23
New King James Version
6 ‘None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord. 7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of your (A)father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness. 9 (B)The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by your father—she is your sister—you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 (C)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is near of kin to your father. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is near of kin to your mother. 14 (D)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. 15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law—she is your son’s wife—you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. 17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her (E)daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness. 18 Nor shall you take a woman (F)as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as (G)long as she is in her (H)customary impurity. 20 (I)Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your (J)neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 And you shall not let any of your descendants (K)pass through (L)the fire to (M)Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with (N)a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any (O)animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
