*"Are you also hard of understanding? Know you not that every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up? Turn now your attention to those who would know the '''truth'''. You cannot compel men to '''love the truth'''. Many of these teachers are '''blind guides'''. And you know that, if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the pit. But hearken while I tell you the '''truth''' concerning those things that '''morally defile''' and '''spiritually contaminate''' men. I declare it is not that which enters the body by the mouth or gains access to the mind through the eyes and ears that '''defiles''' the man. Man is only '''defiled''' by that evil which may originate within the heart, and that finds expression in the words and deeds of such unholy persons. Do you not know it is from the '''heart''' that there come forth evil thoughts, wicked projects of murder, theft, and adulteries, together with jealousy, pride, anger, revenge, railings, and false witness? And it is just such things that '''defile''' men, and not that they eat bread with ceremonially unclean hands."
