27 Scoundrels concoct evil, and their speech is like a scorching fire.(A)
11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.”(A)
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.(A)
