Mark Chapter 7:1

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

Mark Chapter 7:2

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

Mark Chapter 7:3

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

Mark Chapter 7:4

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

Mark Chapter 7:5

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

Mark Chapter 7:6

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Mark Chapter 7:7

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mark Chapter 7:8

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Mark Chapter 7:9

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mark Chapter 7:10

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

Mark Chapter 7:11

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

Mark Chapter 7:12

And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

Mark Chapter 7:13

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Mark Chapter 7:14

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

Mark Chapter 7:15

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

Mark Chapter 7:16

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Mark Chapter 7:17

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

Mark Chapter 7:18

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

Mark Chapter 7:19

Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

Mark Chapter 7:20

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

Mark Chapter 7:21

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

Mark Chapter 7:22

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

Mark Chapter 7:23

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Mark Chapter 7:24

And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

Mark Chapter 7:25

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

Mark Chapter 7:26

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

Mark Chapter 7:27

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

Mark Chapter 7:28

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

Mark Chapter 7:29

And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

Mark Chapter 7:30

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

Mark Chapter 7:31

And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

Mark Chapter 7:32

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

Mark Chapter 7:33

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

Mark Chapter 7:34

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

Mark Chapter 7:35

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

Mark Chapter 7:36

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

Mark Chapter 7:37

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

Romans Chapter 14:1

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Romans Chapter 14:2

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

Romans Chapter 14:3

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Romans Chapter 14:4

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Romans Chapter 14:5

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Romans Chapter 14:6

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans Chapter 14:7

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Romans Chapter 14:8

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Romans Chapter 14:9

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Romans Chapter 14:10

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Romans Chapter 14:11

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Romans Chapter 14:12

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans Chapter 14:13

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Romans Chapter 14:14

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Romans Chapter 14:15

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Romans Chapter 14:16

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Romans Chapter 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Romans Chapter 14:18

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Romans Chapter 14:19

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Romans Chapter 14:20

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

Romans Chapter 14:21

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

Romans Chapter 14:22

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Romans Chapter 14:23

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

1 Timothy Chapter 4:4

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1 Timothy Chapter 4:5

For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
