Matthew 12:35

Good Trees And Good Fruit Or Bad Trees And Bad Fruit

³⁴ You children of snakes! Since you are evil, how do you expect to speak good things? For the mouth speaks what the heart is filled with. ³⁵ The good person produces good things from his storehouse of goodness. But the evil person produces bad things from his storehouse of evil. ³⁶ And I say to you, a person will [have to] give an account [to God] on the day of judgment for every careless word he had spoken [while on earth].

You should let the message of Christ live in you abundantly [i.e., as individuals and collectively]. Use [much] wisdom in teaching and warning one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with favor [i.e., with thankfulness] in your hearts toward God.
