What the Bible says about Sins that Defile are Generated from Inside
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Mark 7:14-16 What is Jesus trying to tell us? "Work on yourself!" He advises. The evils we have to recognize, face down, and obliterate are inside. They are the defiling sins that spring from our "deceitful . . . and desperately wicked" heart (Jeremiah 17:9). If we really want to clean up society and deny Satan victory over us, our job is to root out the evils within. Richard T.

Mark 7:20-23 That the sins that defile us are generated from inside is a point Jesus wants us to acknowledge, for He mentions this fact three times in seven verses. The evils we have been called to fight and subdue are what we conceive, nurture, and express from within—the evils we see when we look in the mirror. Richard T.
