    In Mark 7:22, the nominative plural form occurs in a list with greedinesses, deceit, and other evils. In Matthew 15:19, it is likewise listed among what come out of the heart; the APB renders the list with “adulteries.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the form as “adulteries” within lists of evils. This rendering is confirmed by the shared list setting rather than treated as a finer lexical distinction.
