Verb koinoō (to defile) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Matthew

15: 11it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles (koinoō) a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles (koinoō)."
15: 18But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles (koinoō).
15: 20These are what defile (koinoō) a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile (koinoō)."

Mark

7: 15there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile (koinoō), but the things that come out are what defile (koinoō)."
7: 18He said to them, "Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile (koinoō),
7: 20And he said, "It is what comes out of a person that defiles (koinoō).
7: 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile (koinoō) a person."

Acts

10: 15The voice said to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you must not consider defiled (koinoō)."
11: 9But a second time the voice answered from heaven, 'What God has made clean, you must not consider defiled (koinoō).'
21: 28shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against our people, our law, and this place; more than that, he has actually brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled (koinoō) this holy place."
