30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

The Unpardonable Sin(A)

31 “Therefore I say to you, (B)every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, (C)but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who (D)speaks a word against the Son of Man, (E)it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

A Tree Known by Its Fruit(F)

33 “Either make the tree good and (G)its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 (H)Brood[a] of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? (I)For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure [b]of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
