Exegesis
Another prepositional phrase, ek tes kardias {ἐκ τῆς καρδίας | ek tês kardías} ‘out of the heart’, follows before the finite verb exerchetai {ἐξέρχεται | exérchetai} ‘comes out’, so that the verb ties the “coming out” concept back to the deeper origin in the heart. The word order places the heart phrase before the verb, foregrounding the heart as the real origin.
Root and etymology
kardiakappa–alpha–rho–delta–iota–alpha
