O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:34 Go To Matthew 12
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
He taught that a corrupt outlook on life arises out of a corrupted nature. He taught that from an evil storehouse nothing can come but what is evil. An account must be rendered to God for every idle, careless and useless word. We are to be condemned or justified by the words we speak. The mercy or the judgment we receive shall depend on the inward conviction we have about the Lord of heavenly glory.
