Matthew 12:34-37
34 (A)You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak (a)what is good? (B)For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.
35 (C)The good man brings out of his good treasure (b)what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure (c)what is evil.
36 But I tell you that every (d)careless word that people (e)speak, they shall give an accounting for it in (D)the day of judgment.
37 For (f)by your words you will be justified, and (g)by your words you will be condemned.”
