Mar 7:15 | CPDV | STEP | There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which proceed from a man, these are what pollute a man.

‏ Mark 7:15

15 There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which proceed from a man, these are what pollute a man. ^{▼▼7:15The word ‘coinquinant’ is from the 1590 Sixtus V edition of the Vulgate, in place of the word ‘communicant’ from the 1598 edition. The reason for using ‘communicant’ is the previous use of the word ‘communibus’ to refer to unwashed hands, but the continued use of that term becomes confusing.(Conte)}
