Was aber zum Munde herausgeht, das kommt aus dem Herzen, und das verunreinigt den Menschen.
Mas lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.
Mais ce qui sort de la bouche vient du coeur, et c'est ce qui souille l'homme.
Ma le cose che escono dalla bocca procedono dal cuore, ed esse contaminano l’uomo.
Mas, o que sai da boca, procede do coração, e isso contamina o homem.
然而口裏出來的是出於心裏,這才玷污人。
