34 (A)You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak [a]what is good? (B)For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35 (C)The good man brings out of his good treasure [b]what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure [c]what is evil. 36 But I tell you that every [d]careless word that people [e]speak, they shall give an accounting for it in (D)the day of judgment. 37 For [f]by your words you will be justified, and [g]by your words you will be condemned.”
