Matthew 15:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Do you not see and understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the ^[a]abdomen and so passes on into the place where discharges are deposited?

¹⁸ But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles [him].

¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech.
