Mark 7:18-23
New King James Version
18 So He said to them, (A)“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, [a]thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, (B)“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 (C)For from within, out of the heart of men, (D)proceed evil thoughts, (E)adulteries, (F)fornications, murders, 22 thefts, (G)covetousness, wickedness, (H)deceit, (I)lewdness, an evil eye, (J)blasphemy, (K)pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
