Matthew 15:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁸ But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles.^{(A) 19} For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.^{(B) 20} These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.”
