Matthew 12:34-36

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁴ You are like the children of dangerous snakes. You cannot say good things when your thoughts are bad. When you speak, your words show what is in your mind. ³⁵ It is like things that you bring out of a room where you keep them. The good man says good things because he keeps good thoughts in his mind. The bad man says bad things because he keeps bad thoughts in his mind. ³⁶ I tell you this: One day, God will judge everybody. On that day, he will ask you about every useless word that you have spoken.
