“Politically Correct” and
Offensive Speech
Matt. 15:7-12
7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of me.
10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand:
11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?
