Matthew 12:36 Context
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. 37For by thy wordes thou shalt bee iustified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38¶ Then certaine of the Scribes, and of the Pharisees, answered, saying, Master, we would see a signe from thee.
