New International Reader's Version

Matthew 12:30-34 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

30. "Anyone who is not with me is against me. Anyone who does not gather sheep with me scatters them.

31. So here is what I tell you. Every sin and every evil word spoken against God will be forgiven. But speaking evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

32. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. A person like that won't be forgiven either now or in days to come.

33. "If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good. If you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad. You can tell a tree by its fruit.

34. "You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.
