What comes from the
Heart & Mouth
“Do
you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since
it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?’ (Thus he
declared all foods clean.) And he said, ‘It is what comes out of a person that
defiles. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come:
fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from
within, and they defile a person.’ Mark 7:18-23 (cf. Matthew 15:18-20)
