|

|
| 7:8 |
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
|
| 7:9 |
And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition,
|

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoever curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
|
| 7:11 |
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free].
|
| 7:12 |
And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother;
|
| 7:13 |
Making the word of God of no effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
|
| 7:22 |
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;

| 7:23 |
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
|
| 7:24 |
