SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:21
Porque de dentro, del corazn de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los homicidios,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. For from within, out of the heart of man , etc..] The inside of man is very bad, his inward part is not only wicked, but wickedness itself, yea, very wickedness, ( Psalm 5:9), 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 proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders ; which several things are related in Mt. 15:19 see the note on Matthew 15:19 ; only the order here is a little different; murders, which are here mentioned last, are there put after evil thoughts.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-23 - Our wicked thoughts and affections, words and actions, defile us, an these only. As a corrupt fountain sends forth corrupt streams, so doe a corrupt heart send forth corrupt reasonings, corrupt appetites an passions, and all the wicked words and actions that come from them. spiritual understanding of the law of God, and a sense of the evil of sin, will cause a man to seek for the grace of the Holy Spirit, to kee down the evil thoughts and affections that work within.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
21. Evil Thoughts (dialogismoi oi kakoi). 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. ii. 4. Radically, it carries the idea of discussion or debate, with an under-thought of suspicion or doubt, either with one's own mind, as Luke v. 22; vi. 8; or with another, Luke ix. 46; Philip. ii. 14; Rom. xiv. 1.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:21 {Evil thoughts} (hoi dialogismoi hoi kakoi). These come out of the heart (ek tes kardias), the inner man, and lead to the dreadful list here given like the crimes of a modern police court: {fornications} (porneiai, usually of the unmarried), {adulteries} (moicaiai, of the married), {thefts} (klopai, stealings), {covetings} (pleonexiai, craze for more and more), {murders} (fonoi, growing out of the others often), {wickednesses} (poneriai, from ponos, toil, qen drudge, bad like our _knave_, serving boy like German _Knabe_, and qen criminal), {deceit} (dolos, lure or snare with bait), {lasciviousness} (aselgeia, unrestrained sex instinct), {evil eye} (ofqalmos poneros) or eye that works evil and that haunts one with its gloating stare, {railing} (blasfemia, blasphemy, hurtful speech), {pride} (huperefania, holding oneself above others, stuck up), {foolishness} (afrosune, lack of sense), a fitting close to it all.
