約翰福音 2:24
- 25
But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
耶穌卻不將自己交託他們；因為他知道萬人，
也用不著誰見證人怎樣，因他知道人心裡所存的。
馬太福音 12:33
- 35
"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
「你們或以為樹好，果子也好；樹壞，果子也壞；因為看果子就可以知道樹。
毒蛇的種類！你們既是惡人，怎能說出好話來呢？因為心裡所充滿的，口裡就說出來。
善人從他心裡所存的善就發出善來；惡人從他心裡所存的惡就發出惡來。
耶利米書 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
人心比萬物都詭詐，壞到極處，誰能識透呢？
馬太福音 15:18
- 19
But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts-murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
惟獨出口的，是從心裡發出來的，這才污穢人。
因為從心裡發出來的，有惡念、兇殺、姦淫、苟合、偷盜、妄證、謗讟。
馬太福音 23:25

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
「你們這假冒為善的文士和法利賽人有禍了！因為你們洗淨杯盤的外面，裡面卻盛滿了勒索和放蕩。
你這瞎眼的法利賽人，先洗淨杯盤的裡面，好叫外面也乾淨了。
「你們這假冒為善的文士和法利賽人有禍了！因為你們好像粉飾的墳墓，外面好看，裡面卻裝滿了死人的骨頭和一切的污穢。
你們也是如此，在人前，外面顯出公義來，裡面卻裝滿了假善和不法的事。
