And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them - Hearken to me, all! and understand:

Nothing, is there, from without the man, entering into him, which can defile him; but, the things which, out of the man, come forth, are the things that defile the man.

And, when he entered into a house from the multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to the parable;

And he saith unto them - Thus, are, ye also, without discernment? Perceive ye not that, nothing, from without, entering into the man, can defile him;

And he was saying - That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth the man;

For, from within, out of the heart of men, the base designs, come forth, - fornications, thefts,

murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, -

all these wicked things, from within, come forth, and defile, the man.
