New Testament

Matthew 12:33-37 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

33. “To have good fruit you must have a healthy tree; if you have a poor tree, you will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it bears.

34. You snakes — how can you say good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

35. A good person brings good things out of a treasure of good things; a bad person brings bad things out of a treasure of bad things.

36. “You can be sure that on Judgement Day everyone will have to give account of every useless word he has ever spoken.

37. Your words will be used to judge you — to declare you either innocent or guilty.”
