The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and

adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:
ROMANS 7:18-22
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with
me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find
not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil
which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I
would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me. For I delight in the law of God after
the inward man:

heart.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth
come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

witness, blasphemies:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye

also.
