There is nothing that enters a man from outside which is able to defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

But Peter said, By no means, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has cleansed do not consider unclean.

But I said, By no means, Lord, for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.

But the voice answered me again from Heaven, What God has cleansed do not consider unclean.

I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Do not bring to naught the work of God on account of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man whose eating causes a stumbling block.

For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

for it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are trouble and wickedness.

They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.

The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from the belly, speaking lies.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has uttered perverseness.

They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold, how large a forest a little fire kindles.

For every kind of beast and bird, and of creeping thing and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through wantonness, the ones who have actually escaped from those living in error.
