For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:37 Go To Matthew 12
Theodore the Stratelates
AD 319
If we are called to account “for every careless word,” how much more will those who have blasphemed against the Spirit of the only begotten Son receive a more bitter punishment on the day of judgment. And if, Christ says, someone merely utters a slander against someone else, that one will by no means escape judgment. If they will give an account concerning an idle word, how much more so concerning a work.
