clean heart

Morally unburdened spirit

A clean heart is one free from guilt, malice, or impure motives.

The phrase appears in religious contexts, particularly the Psalms: Create in me a clean heart, O God.

More broadly, it suggests sincerity and moral innocence—someone with a clean heart acts from genuine goodness rather than self-interest or hidden agendas.
