Mark 7:18-23

18He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding? Don’t you realize that nothing going into a person from the outside can defile him?

19For it doesn’t go into his heart but into the stomach and is eliminated” (thus he declared all foods clean).

20And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

21For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

22adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, self-indulgence, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.

23All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
