Mateo 15:18

Listen to Mateo 15:18
18 Pero lo que sale de la boca viene del corazón y contamina a la persona.

Mateo 15:18 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:18

But those things which proceed out of the mouth
Meaning not material things, as spittle, vomit but, as it follows, which

come forth from the heart:
are first conceived and formed there, and then come forth from thence, and are expressed by the mouth; as all idle words, foolish talking, filthy jesting, unsavoury communication, and every word that is rotten and corrupt, or which is done in the life and conversation;

and they defile the man:
the heart is the corrupt fountain from whence all moral defilement flows; and sinful words and actions are the impure streams, which spring from thence, and increase the moral pollution of human nature.

Mateo 15:18 In-Context

16 —¿También ustedes son todavía tan torpes? —les dijo Jesús—.
17 ¿No se dan cuenta de que todo lo que entra en la boca va al estómago y después se echa en la letrina?
18 Pero lo que sale de la boca viene del corazón y contamina a la persona.
19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, los homicidios, los adulterios, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los falsos testimonios y las calumnias.
20 Estas son las cosas que contaminan a la persona, y no el comer sin lavarse las manos.
