Matthew 12:33-37

Lexham English Bible

Good Trees and Good Fruit or Bad Trees and Bad Fruit

³³ “Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree bad and its fruit is bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴ Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things when you^[a] are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. ³⁵ The good person from his^[b] good treasury brings out good things, and the evil person from his^[c] evil treasury brings out evil things. ³⁶ But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment! ³⁷ For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned.”
