Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,

And, he, answering, said - Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:

Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.

Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;

while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.

For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, - murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:

these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
