Bible Verses about Sin
| Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

What you say flows from what is in your heart. |

All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” | And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you.

All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.” |
