Matthew 12:34 Context
32And whosoeuer speaketh a word against the sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but whosoeuer speaketh against the holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. 33Either make the tree good, and his fruit good: Or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: For the tree is knowen by his fruit. 34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being euil, speake good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth foorth good things: and an euill man out of the euill treasure, bringeth foorth euill things. 36But I say vnto you, That euery idle word that men shall speake, they shall giue accompt thereof in the day of Iudgement.
