Matthew 12:35

---

← Matthew 12:34 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 12:35 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 12:36 [words of Jesus] →
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.	A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.	But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
