Evil thoughts come from the inside, from a person’s heart. So do sexual sins, stealing and murder.Adultery, greed, hate and cheating come from a person’s heart too. So do desires that are not pure, and wanting what belongs to others. And so do telling lies about others and being proud and being foolish.
