Matthew 15:18-21

¹⁸ ^But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man. ¹⁹ ^For out of the heart come evil thoughts and plans, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slanders (verbal abuse, irreverent speech, blaspheming). ²⁰ ^These are the things which defile and dishonor the man; but eating with [ceremonially] unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
