Matthew 12:31-37

31“1Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 322Whoever 3speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever 4speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in 5this age or in the age to come.

33“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for 6the tree is known by its fruit. 347You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak 8what is good? 9For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 3510The good man brings out of his good treasure 11what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure 12what is evil. 36But I tell you that every 13careless word that people 14speak, they shall give an accounting for it in 15the day of judgment. 37For 16by your words you will be justified, and 17by your words you will be condemned.”
