Learn here what it means to defile a person and how it happens!
Ezekiel 20:7
7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the
abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves
with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Daniel 1:8
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor
with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested
of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Matthew 15:10
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto
them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth
a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this
defileth a man.
Matthew 15:19
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat
with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Mark 7:14
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he
said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and
understand:
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.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the
people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
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;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the
belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that
defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from with in, and defile the man.
1 Corinthians 3:17
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Jude 7
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in
like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise
dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
