Matthew 15:11, 17-19

Matthew 15:11 AMP

It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that defiles and dishonors him, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles and dishonors him.”

Matthew 15:17-19 AMP

Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But whatever [word]comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts and plans, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slanders (verbal abuse, irreverent speech, blaspheming).
