17 Do you not see that (A)whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?[a]
18 But (A)what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.
19 For out of the heart come (A)evil thoughts, (B)murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, (C)slander.
20 (A)These are what defile a person. But (B)to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
