Mark 7:21

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
