Matthew 12:34-37

341You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak 2what is good? 3For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 354The good man brings out of his good treasure 5what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure 6what is evil. 36But I tell you that every 7careless word that people 8speak, they shall give an accounting for it in 9the day of judgment. 37For 10by your words you will be justified, and 11by your words you will be condemned.”
