But the things which proceed from the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the man. For from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies: these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
And when he had gone from the multitude into the house, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he said to them, Are you also so without understanding? Do you not understand that nothing which enters into a man from without can defile him, because it enters not into his heart, but into the stomach, and goes out to the earth, purifying all aliments? read more.
But he said, that which comes out of the man, this defiles him; for from within, from the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, malice, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

and now I no longer do it, but the sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not; for the good which I wish I do not, but the evil which I wish not this I do. But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me. I find therefore the law, that when I wish to do good evil is present with me; for I consent to the law of God as to my inward man, [my soul], but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Who ever goes on a military expedition at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and eats not the fruit of it? or who feeds a flock and eats not of the milk of the flock? Do I say these things in the manner of men? or does not the law also say the same? For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes. Does God care for oxen? read more.
or does he speak entirely for our sakes? For our sakes, doubtless, it was written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and that he who threshes in hope should partake of it. If we have sown for you spiritual things, is it too much if we reap your earthly things? And if others have this right, do we not have it more? But we have not used this right, but endure all things, that we may not impede the gospel of Christ. Know you not that those who perform sacred rites eat from the temple? Those who wait on the altar partake of the altar? So also the Lord has appointed to those who preach the gospel to live by the gospel. But I have used none of these things, and I have not written these things that it should be so done to me; for I prefer to die, rather than that any one should make my boasting vain. For if I preach the gospel I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for woe is me, if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I am intrusted with a stewardship. What then is my reward? That preaching I may make the gospel without expense, that I may not abuse my right in the gospel. For being free from all men, I have made myself a servant of all, that I may gain more; to the Jews I have been as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain those under the law; to those without law, as without law, being not without law to God, but with law to Christ, that I might gain those without law; to the weak I have been as weak, that I might gain the weak; I have been all things to all men, that I may save some in all conditions; and I do all things for the sake of the gospel, that I may be a partaker of it.
