Mateo 15:18

18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del mismo corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.

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 Y Jesús dijo: ¿También vosotros sois aún sin entendimiento?

17 ¿No entendéis todavía que todo lo que entra en la boca, va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?

18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del mismo corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.

19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos: muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, maledicencias.

20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; que comer con las manos sin lavar no contamina al hombre.
