But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment!
"For this [reason] the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man--a king--who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
For this [reason], behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. [Some] of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town,
Now after a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your life is demanded from you, and [the things] which you have prepared--whose will they be?'
But the one who did not know and did [things] deserving blows {will be given a light beating}. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him [for] even more.
And it happened that when he returned [after] receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.
So each one of us will give an account concerning himself.
with respect to which they are surprised [when] you do not run with [them] into the same flood of dissipation, [and so they] revile [you]. They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment! For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned."
But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God." So each one of us will give an account concerning himself.

Then a demon-possessed man [who was] blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the [man who was] mute could speak and see. And all the crowds were amazed and began saying, "Perhaps this one is the Son of David!" But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!" read more.
But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. And if Satan expels Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel [them]? For this [reason] they will be your judges! But if I expel demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you! Or how can someone enter into the house of a strong [man] and steal his property, unless he first ties up the strong [man]? And then he can thoroughly plunder his house. The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters. For this [reason] I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven! And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the coming one!

But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment!

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, then understand that the ones {who have faith}, these are sons of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: "In you all the nations will be blessed." read more.
So then, the ones [who have] faith are blessed together with Abraham who believed. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who does not abide by all [the things] that are written in the book of the law to do them." Now [it is] clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because "the one who is righteous will live by faith." But the law is not from faith, but "the one who does these [things] will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law [by] becoming a curse for us, because it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who hangs on a tree," in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or [is God] the God of the Jews only? [Is he] not also [the God] of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles, since God [is] one, who will justify {those who are circumcised} by faith and {those who are uncircumcised} through faith.
But do you want to know, O foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works [when he] offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was working together with his works, and by the works the faith was perfected. read more.
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works [when she] welcomed the messengers and sent [them] out by a different route?

The lips of a fool will bring strife, and his mouth calls out for a flogging. The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, and his lips [are] a snare to his soul.
For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words.
For with many dreams [come] vanities and numerous words. Therefore, fear God!
[Like] a thorn that goes up in the hand of a drunkard, so [is] a proverb in the mouth of fools.
A fool gives all his breath, but [the] wise holds back in quiet.
He who keeps his mouth guards his life; he who opens his lips, ruin [belongs] to him.
You see a man who is hasty in his words: [there is more] hope for a fool than him.
The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge, but the faces of fools, they will feed on folly.
He who returns a word before he will hear, folly itself [belongs] to him as well as shame.
A clever person conceals knowledge, but the heart of a fool announces folly.
The tongue of the wise will dispense knowledge, but the mouth of fools will pour out folly.
Those who are wise lay up knowledge, but [to] the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.
and obscenity, and foolish talk, or coarse jesting (which [are] not proper), but rather thanksgiving.
[Like] legs that hang limp from a lame person, so [is] a proverb in the mouth of fools.
In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride, but the lips of the wise preserve them.
{O that} you would keep completely silent, and [that] it would become wisdom for you.
[Is there] a limit to windy words? What provokes you that you answer? I myself also could talk as you, if {you were in my place}; I could join against you with words, and I could shake at you with my head.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly lest you become like him--even you.
Do not slander a servant to his master, or else he will curse you and you will be guilty.
He begins by saying what is foolish and ends by uttering what is wicked delusion. The fool {talks too much}, for no one knows what will be. Who can tell anyone what will happen {in the future}?

Now after a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your life is demanded from you, and [the things] which you have prepared--whose will they be?'
But the one who did not know and did [things] deserving blows {will be given a light beating}. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him [for] even more.
And it happened that when he returned [after] receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.
So each one of us will give an account concerning himself.
