21<\/strong>. evil thoughts<\/em> ] Thirteen forms of evil are here noticed as proceeding from the heart. The first seven in the plural number, are predominant actions;<\/em> the latter six in the singular, dispositions<\/em>. Comp. the blending of the singular and plural in St Paul’s enumeration of the works of the flesh, Gal 5:19-21<\/span>.<\/p>\n adulteries<\/em> ] The preferable order appears to be fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, wickednesses<\/em>.<\/p>\n For from within, out of the heart of man<\/strong>,…. The inside of man is very bad, his inward part is not only wicked, but wickedness itself, yea, very wickedness, Ps 5:9<\/span>, in him dwells no good thing naturally, his heart is wicked, and desperately so; it is full of evil; and out of the abundance of it, proceed the evil things hereafter mentioned; all its powers and faculties are vitiated, there is no place clean; the understanding and judgment are dreadfully corrupted; the mind and conscience are defiled; the affections are inordinate; not only the thought, but every imagination of the thought of the heart is evil, and that continually: what good thing therefore, can come out of such a Nazareth as this? Nothing, but what follows: for from hence<\/p>\n proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders<\/strong>; which several things are related in Mt. 15:19 see the note on “Mt 15:19”<\/strong>; only the order here is a little different; “murders”, which are here mentioned last, are there put after “evil thoughts”.<\/p>\n Evil thoughts <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). These come out of the heart ( <\/SPAN><\/span>), the inner man, and lead to the dreadful list here given like the crimes of a modern police court:<\/P> fornications <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, usually of the unmarried),<\/P> adulteries <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, of the married),<\/P> thefts <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, stealings),<\/P> covetings <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, craze for more and more),<\/P> murders <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, growing out of the others often),<\/P> wickednesses <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, from <\/SPAN><\/span>, toil, then drudge, bad like our knave<\/I>, serving boy like German Knabe<\/I>, and then criminal),<\/P> deceit <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, lure or snare with bait),<\/P> lasciviousness <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, unrestrained sex instinct),<\/P> evil eye <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>) or eye that works evil and that haunts one with its gloating stare,<\/P> railing <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, blasphemy, hurtful speech),<\/P> pride <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, holding oneself above others, stuck up),<\/P> foolishness <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>, lack of sense), a fitting close to it all. <\/P> <\/p>\n Evil Thoughts [ ] <\/SPAN><\/span>. Thoughts, those which are evil. So Rev., in margin. Thoughts that are evil. The word dialogismoi, thoughts, does not in itself convey a bad sense; and hence the addition of adjectives denoting evil, as here and Jas 2:4<\/span>. Radically, it carries the idea of discussion or debate, with an under – thought of suspicion or doubt, either with one’s own mind, as Luk 5:22<\/span>; Luk 6:8<\/span>; or with another, Luk 9:46<\/span>; Phi 2:14<\/span>; Rom 14:1<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “For from<\/strong> within, out of the heart of men, proceed,” <\/strong>(esothen gar ek tes kardias ton anthropon ekporeuontai) “Because from within, out of the heart (emotions) of men come forth,” or go forth:<\/p>\n a) ”Evil thoughts,”<\/strong> (hoi dialogismoi hoi kakoi) “Thoughts (intentions, purposes) of evil,” evil nature, inclinations, dispositions, or evil attitudes – – such as hate, malice, envy, jealousy, inflaming old grudges, Pro 24:9<\/span>; Psa 45:1<\/span>; Psa 94:11<\/span>; Isa 55:7<\/span>; Gen 6:5<\/span>; Mat 12:34-35<\/span>; Jas 3:10-12<\/span>.<\/p>\n b) ”Adulteries,”<\/strong> (moicheiai) “Adulteries,” sexual breaches of marital vows with another party. Note that all kinds of evil thoughts, intentions, or purposes of evil originate in the degenerate heart and deranged mind of responsible men, Gen 6:4<\/span>; Jer 17:9<\/span>.<\/p>\n c) “Fornications,”<\/strong> (porneiai) “Fornications,” sexual moral infidelities outside marriage vows. Unsanctioned moral liberties taken in inter-sexual relations before or outside of marriage.<\/p>\n d) “Murders,”<\/strong> (phonoi) “Murders,” the premeditated taking of life of another with malice aforethought, Gen 9:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 21. Evil thoughts, adulteries, &c.<\/strong> ] Even all sorts of sins against both the tables of the law, as is well observed by Grotius in loc.<\/em> Here is pride and folly against the first commandment; blasphemy against the second and third; of sins against the fifth commandment he had spoken before; and here are murders against the sixth; adultery and fornication against the seventh; thefts and covetousness against the eighth; guilt against the ninth; evil thoughts against the tenth. See what a foul fountain, what a seminary of sin, man’s heart is.

Adulteries can be committed first in the heart (Mat 5:28). Fornication is virtually the same in the eyes of the Lord, but human laws make a difference and the scripture condemns both so there will be no doubt. Murder is taking human life unlawfully after it has been premeditated which is done in the heart.<\/p>\n Mar 7:21. For from within, out of the heart of man. This represents, even more emphatically than the form preserved by Matthew, that the heart of man is the laboratory and fountain-head of all that is good and bad in the inner life of man, hence his responsibility, etc. That the body is the seat of sin is here denied. Both materialism and asceticism are opposed. Marks catalogue of sins is fuller than that of Matthew. Here, as there, the plural seems to indicate that the sins are common and notorious.<\/p>\n For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 21. evil thoughts ] Thirteen forms of evil are here noticed as proceeding from the heart.
