Matthew 15:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ “Don’t you see? Everything that enters the mouth goes into the stomach. Then it goes out of the body. ¹⁸ But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart. Those are the things that make someone ‘unclean.’ ¹⁹ Evil thoughts come out of a person’s heart. So do murder, adultery, and other sexual sins. And so do stealing, false witness, and telling lies about others.
