Matthew 15:18-20

18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’

19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

20 These are what make a man ‘unclean’; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean.’”
