Bible verse
For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
Mark 7:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 7.
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
