2Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5For each one shall bear his own load.

6Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

9And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

14When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, 'Hear Me, everyone, and understand:

15There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

16If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!'

17When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

18So He said to them, 'Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

19because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?'

20And He said, 'What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

23All these evil things come from within and defile a man.'

24From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.
