Matthew 12:36
Matthew 12:36 New International Version (NIV)
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
Matthew 12:34-37 The Message (MSG)
“You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It’s your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.”
