Mark 7:18-23

18“Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you?

19Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)

20And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you.

21For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.

23All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
