Matthew 15:18

Words and speechPurityIntegrity

16 “Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17 “Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

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

20 These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
