โand put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.โ
โPut to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;โ

โTherefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ--โ
โHe said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.โ
โAll these evil things come from within, and defile the man."โ
โFor out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.โ

โbecause it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."โ
โas children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,โ
โBut the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.โ
โThese are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."โ
