A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

33 “A tree is known by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will also be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will also be bad. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person brings good things out of [fn]his good treasure, and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasure. 36 But I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give an account for every idle word they speak. 37 For by yoʋr words yoʋ will be justified, and by yoʋr words yoʋ will be condemned.”
