34 (A)You [a]offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? (B)For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart. 35 (C)The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things. 36 But I tell you that for every [b]careless word that people [c]speak, they will give an account of it on the (D)day of judgment. 37 For [d]by your words you will be justified, and [e]by your words you will be condemned.”
