Mark 7:22 In-Context

20 And he said, "What comes out of a person, that defiles a person.
21 For from within, from the heart of people, come evil plans, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
22 adulteries, [acts of] greed, malicious [deeds], deceit, licentiousness, {envy}, abusive speech, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil [things] come from within and defile a person."
24 And from there he set out [and] went to the region of Tyre. And [when he] entered into a house, he wanted no one to know, and [yet] he was not able to escape notice.
