Matthew 12:31-37

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

33“Either 4assume the tree to be good as well as its fruit good, or 5assume the tree to be bad as well as its fruit bad; for 6the tree is known by its fruit. 347You 8offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? 9For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart. 3510The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things. 36But I tell you that for every 11careless word that people 12speak, they will give an account of it on the 13day of judgment. 37For 14by your words you will be justified, and 15by your words you will be condemned.”
