[7:14] And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:
[7:15] There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”
[7:17] And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
[7:18] And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,
[7:19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
[7:20] And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
[7:21] For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
[7:22] coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
[7:23] All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
