1Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but
2the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32
And whoever speaks a word
3against the Son of Man
4will be forgiven, but
5whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in
6this age or in the age to come.
A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
33 7“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad,
8for the tree is known by its fruit.
34
9You brood of vipers! How can you speak good,
10when you are evil?
11For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35
12The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.
36
I tell you,
13on the day of judgment
14people will give account for
15every careless word they speak,
37
for
16by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. ”
