12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. 1 But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, 2 either in this age or in the age to come.
Trees and Their Fruit
12:33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad 3 and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit. 12:34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart. 12:35 The good person 4 brings good things out of his 5 good treasury, 6 and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury. 12:36 I 7 tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak. 12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
