69. Matthew 26:29 Fruit of the vine
Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν ου μη πιω απ αρτι εκ τουτου του γενηματος της αμπελου εως της ημερας εκεινης οταν αυτο πινω μεθ υμων καινον εν τη βασιλεια του πατρος μου [gnt]
At the last supper, Jesus talks of drinking the fruit of the vine. At that time, in the Spring of the year during Passover, any wine, leftover from the Fall before, would have been somewhat fermented.
Perhaps this statement at the Last Supper is why Jesus refused the offer of wine (and myrrh to lessen the pain) at the crucifixion.

70. Matthew 12:34 Generations
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. [kjv]
γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"γεννήματα" ≈ "fruit, offspring" (plural but translated as singular in the
KJV). Jesus used the usual word for
"fruit" in the previous verse.
Generation of vipers ...
Fruit of vipers ...
Might the
"fruit" of the "
vipers" be not good or even dangerous?
71. Matthew 12:34 Generations
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. [kjv]
γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει [gnt]
"γεννήματα" ≈ "fruit, offspring" and "ἔχιδων" ≈ "(of) snakes, treacherous persons". [wind shield vipers]
"γένη" ≈ "generations" and "μάταιε" ≈ "vain, futile, empty, worthless" (vocative) and "χῖδρον" ≈ "unripe wheaten groats, rubbed from the ear of the hands",
The
grain rubbing might relate to the beginning of the chapter and the disciples picking and eating grain in the field.
The
ancient Greek word
"μάταιος" ≈ "vain, futile, empty, worthless".
The
ancient Greek word
"γενεά" ≈ "birth, race, generation, offspring".
72. Leviticus 2:14,16
Leviticus 2:14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears. [kjv]
εαν δε προσφερης θυσιαν πρωτογενηματων τω κυριω νεα πεφρυγμενα χιδρα ερικτα τω κυριω και προσοισεις την θυσιαν των πρωτογενηματων [lxx]
2:16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [kjv]
73. Leviticus 2:14
KJV: And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
Hebrew: ואם תקריב מנחת בכורים ליהוה אביב קלוי באש גרש כרמל תקריב את מנחת בכוריך׃
Greek: εαν δε προσφερης θυσιαν πρωτογενηματων τω κυριω νεα πεφρυγμενα χιδρα ερικτα τω κυριω και προσοισεις την θυσιαν των πρωτογενηματων
74. Leviticus 2:16
KJV: And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Hebrew: והקטיר הכהן את אזכרתה מגרשה ומשמנה על כל לבנתה אשה ליהוה׃
Greek: και ανοισει ο ιερευς το μνημοσυνον αυτης απο των χιδρων συν τω ελαιω και παντα τον λιβανον αυτης καρπωμα εστιν κυριω
75. Leviticus 23:14
Leviticus 23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [kjv]
και αρτον και πεφρυγμενα χιδρα νεα ου φαγεσθε εως εις αυτην την ημεραν ταυτην εως αν προσενεγκητε υμεις τα δωρα τω θεω υμων νομιμον αιωνιον εις τας γενεας υμων εν παση κατοικια υμων [lxx]
76. Leviticus 23:14
KJV: And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Hebrew: ולחם וקלי וכרמל לא תאכלו עד עצם היום הזה עד הביאכם את קרבן אלהיכם חקת עולם לדרתיכם בכל משבתיכם׃
Greek: και αρτον και πεφρυγμενα χιδρα νεα ου φαγεσθε εως εις αυτην την ημεραν ταυτην εως αν προσενεγκητε υμεις τα δωρα τω θεω υμων νομιμον αιωνιον εις τας γενεας υμων εν παση κατοικια υμων
77. Matthew 12:34 Windshield vipers for the birds
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. [kjv]
γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει [gnt]
This is
node 4 of "
adultery" in the form of "
missions" by the "
pigs" or "
hands" in support of the goals of the "
bird" or "
eye" or "
leader" and based on
false doctrine in the form of "
leaven" mixed in with
true doctrine. [windshield vipers]
78. Matthew 12:34 Windshield vipers for the birds
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. [kjv]
γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει [gnt]
This is
node 4 (no adultery, leaven).
These are "
hypocrites" in the Greek sense of
acting or
pretending.
Greek hypocrite: Think one thing (in the heart). Say something else (from the mouth).
79. Matthew 12:34
KJV: O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Greek: γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει
Latin: progenies viperarum quomodo potestis bona loqui cum sitis mali ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur
80. Matthew Treasure and heart
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. [kjv]
ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα [gnt]
The words "
of the heart" are not in some Greek manuscripts. It appears, that
"treasure" can be
"good" or
"evil" as
"oppression". Might treasure be in the eye of the beholder?
A "good" "man" and "good" "treasure" appear to be connected.
An "evil" "man" and "evil" "treasure" appear to be connected.
6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [kjv]
81. Matthew 12:35 Treasure island hopping
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. [kjv]
ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα [gnt]
This is
node 5 of
"living" "bread" and the
true "sheep" or "
treasure" in the "
field" or
wide area", a play on words of "
the boats".
82. Matthew 12:35 Treasure island hopping
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. [kjv]
ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα [gnt]
This is
node 5 (treasure, living bread, Sabbath holy).
Do not eat the fruit. Do not feed the birds.
83. Matthew 12:35
KJV: A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Greek: ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου της καρδιας εκβαλλει τα αγαθα και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα
Latin: bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala
Spanish: El hombre bueno, del buen tesoro del corazón saca buenas cosas; y el hombre malo, del mal tesoro saca malas cosas.
Portuguese: O homem bom, do seu bom tesouro, tira coisas boas; e o homem mau, do seu mau tesouro, tira coisas más.
84. Usage - pay
*G591 *48 ἀποδίδωμι (ap-od-eed'-o-mee) : from G575 and G1325; to give away, i.e. up, over, back, etc. (in various applications):--deliver (again), give (again), (re-)pay(-ment be made), perform, recompense, render, requite, restore, reward, sell, yield.
The ancient Greek word
"ἀποδίδωμι" ≈ "give back, render what is due, return" and many other associated meanings. The Greek word translated as
"pay" is that of, literally,
"turning over" as in the saying
"fork it over". This exact form of the word appears two times in the
GNT. The Luke verse in what people remembered about what Jesus said as recorded by Matthew.
Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [kjv]
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως αν αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην [gnt]
Luke 12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. [kjv]
λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως [gnt]
85. Matthew 12:36 Give an accounting
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἀποδίδωμι" ≈ "give back, render what is due, return" and many other associated meanings.
The
KJV translates this as
"give". The
KJV translates as
"account" the Greek word that is
"reasoning".
86. Matthew 12:36 Misleading words of the wolf-dogs
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
This is
node 6 of
young "
goats" a play on words of "
voicing" "
invalid logic", in the "
wide area", a play on words of "
the boats".
87. Matthew 12:36 Misleading words of the wolf-dogs
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum quod locuti fuerint homines reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii [v]
… aelc ydel word … sprecað… agyldeð … domes daige. [wes]
… euery idel word… resoun … dai of doom… [wy]
… every ydell worde … spoken… acountes … daye of iudgement. [ty]
Ich sage euch aber… Rechenschaft … Jüngsten Gericht … jeglichen unnützen Wort… [lu]
Are there
"idle" "
words" that are not "
spoken words"? Might they be in the "
heart" or "
mind"?
88. Matthew 12:36 Misleading words of the wolf-dogs
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
This is
node 6 (honor parents, pearl, tradition)
"λόγος" ≈ "rational explanation, reasoning". In context, it can mean "word".
Why is the translation "
account" (as in "
reasoning") and not "
word"?
What is the
"day" of
"judgment" or
"separation" or
"division"? Does the
"scattered" "
path" need
"separated"? How about the "
wide" "
area"? Does
node 6 need
"separated" from
node 5? Examples: Ten virgins, Talents, Sheep and Goats.
89. Matthew 12:36 Accountability
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
In simple terms, the business field of "
accounting" has to do with keeping track of all debits and credits and making sure that they match exactly.
In this verse, one appears to need to keep track of
"idle words" such that they match, say, "
for Christ" or "
against Christ" with some way to keep track of any
"idle words" in the middle.
These
"idle words" have meaning and are not just "
utterances" that may have limited meaning.
90. Managerial accounting
Aside: In "managerial accounting" one just needs to get close as it may take a lot more work to get everything exact than the difference in the debits and credits.
This is, in part, the difference between logic (all or nothing, true or false) and reality (prudent trade-offs are needed).
In a business programming course there were some business accounting majors in the class. I made the claim that "accounting is easy".
One of them got upset and blurted out, "What do you mean easy! Have you ever taken an accounting course?".
91. Accounting
I then coolly replied, "
accounting is easy". Just go "
a-one", "
a-two", "
a-three". That is how you "
a-count". They were not amused at the humor. Let us move on.
Might it be that jokes fall under the rubric of
"idle words" for which an "
accounting" is needed? Let us account for the jokes, "
a-one", "
a-two", "
a-three". Not funny! That joke was just used.
92. Utterances as diphthongs
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [kjv]
και επλησθησαν παντες πνευματος αγιου και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραις γλωσσαις καθως το πνευμα εδιδου αποφθεγγεσθαι αυτοις [gnt]
Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. [kjv]
αλλα λεγω μη ουκ ηκουσαν μενουνγε εις πασαν την γην εξηλθεν ο φθογγος αυτων και εις τα περατα της οικουμενης τα ρηματα αυτων [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"φθόγγος" ≈ "sound, utterance" and is the source of the English word "
diphthong" (two sounds together).
Some milk cow jokes could be uttered here, but that might be utter (udder) disaster.
93. Matthew 12:36 Idle trees
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
If a tree falls in a forest, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Without defining "
idle word", the following question is asked.
If an idle word is spoken, and there is no one else there to hear it, does it require one to account for it in the day of judgment?
Any such "
idle word" spoken comes from the heart and is already present in the heart. Only words that impact others and the decisions they make from those words
appear to be relevant.
What about
"idle words" that are
not spoken?
94. Matthew 12:36 Day of judgment
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως [gnt]
… aelc ydel word … sprecað… agyldeð … domes daige. [wes]
… euery idel word… resoun … dai of doom… [wy]
The "
day of judgment" is in Middle English "
day of doom" and in Old English "
dooms day". This day may be part of the parable of the sheep and goats.
The word
"judgment" in Old English is
"doom", so "
judgment day" is "
doomsday".
The use of more
prepositions in Middle English led to
"day" of
"doom" rather than the Old English
"dooms" "day".
95. Matthew 12:36
KJV: But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Greek: λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο εαν λαλησωσιν λαλησουσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως
Latin: dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum quod locuti fuerint homines reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii
Wessex: Soðlice ich segge eow. þt aelc ydel word þe man sprecað. hyo agyldeð Note: MS. agylded. scad be þam on domes daige.
Wycliffe: And Y seie to you, that of euery idel word, that men speken, thei schulen yelde resoun therof in the dai of doom;
Tyndale: But I say vnto you that of every ydell worde that men shall have spoken: they shall geve acountes at the daye of iudgement.
Luther: Ich sage euch aber, daß die Menschen müssen Rechenschaft geben am Jüngsten Gericht von einem jeglichen unnützen Wort, das sie geredet haben.
96. Tree in a forest
If a tree falls in a forest, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
George Berkeley (Irish philosopher) asked this question as "
Can something exist without being perceived by consciousness?" as in "
Is sound only sound if a person hears it?".
Discuss: If someone commits a "
crime", but there is no law against it, is it a "
crime"?
Discuss: If a programmer makes a "
mistake", creating a software fault, is it a failure in the software?
[Saturday Night Live and Helen Keller]
97. Anglican Church: Confession of sin
Being silent is an option taken by many. The Anglican Church has a Confession of Sin that starts as follows.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
Are we responsible for what we did not do? How about what we could have done?
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence. Benjamin Franklin (American scientist, inventor, philosopher, statesman)
98. Confession of sin
The concluding part of the Confession of Sin finishes as follows.
Almighty God have mercy on you,
forgive you all your sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen you in all goodness
and by the power of the Holy Spirit
keep you in eternal life. Amen.
99. Lies and deception
Might omitted words used to deceive be
"idle words"? Lies and deception can be very subtle.
Half a truth is often a great lie. Benjamin Franklin (American scientist, inventor, philosopher, statesman)
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true. Winston Churchill (British statesman)
So how does one determine what is true and what is not true?
100. What is not said
Religious leaders will always avail themselves of public ignorance for their own purpose. Thomas Jefferson (American statesman, diplomat, scientist and 3rd President of the United States from 1801-1809) .
What is not said can be as important as what is said. Which of the following is worse?
One can waste time if one says things that are meaningless in a given context (e.g., a sermon).
One can be deceptive if one omits important parts of a message (e.g., the Bible).
One can be deceptive by taking advantage of the ignorance of the listeners. Salespeople often do this.
Do pastors ever do this in sermons?
101. Revelation 10:10 Eating words
Revelation 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [kjv]
και ελαβον το βιβλαριδιον εκ της χειρος του αγγελου και κατεφαγον αυτο και ην εν τω στοματι μου ως μελι γλυκυ και οτε εφαγον αυτο επικρανθη η κοιλια μου [gnt]
An English idiom is that one may have to "
eat one's words". That is, admit that they were wrong about something in the past. In Revelation 10:10 John has to "
eat words" in the form of a "
little book".
Perhaps those words relate to false teaching. Would
"idle words" need some seasoning? How about the season of the day of judgment.
Might that be related to the way that my "
salad jokes" need addressing? Let us (lettuce) leave that as a future topic.
102. Revelation 10:10
KJV: And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Greek: και ελαβον το βιβλαριδιον εκ της χειρος του αγγελου και κατεφαγον αυτο και ην εν τω στοματι μου ως μελι γλυκυ και οτε εφαγον αυτο επικρανθη η κοιλια μου
103. Matthew 12:37 Day of separation giving
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. [kjv]
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"λόγος" ≈ "rational explanation" but is often translated as "
word" in the
KJV. The Greek word used here is that of a
"logical explanation" and
not a
"spoken word". Logical explanations come in various forms.
There exists both
Valid logic and
Invalid logic which can be from
ignorance,
deliberate deception, etc. (
strife).
Aristotle discuses both valid and invalid logic at length.
104. Matthew 12:37 Day of separation giving
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. [kjv]
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση [gnt]
Explanations are
important.
By one's "words" one is "justified" as in "righteous" (same word root in Greek) which is an "opinion" - God's opinion or man's opinion.
By one's "words" one is "condemned". This is not the Greek word for "judge" as in "separate" but the Greek word for "judged" as in "condemned" as in the verdict being carried out.
105. Matthew 12:37 Day of separation giving
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. [kjv]
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση [gnt]
Those
"spoken words" may "
fly" but, according to Jesus, some of those words may need to be accounted for in the day of judgment.
The
KJV translates as
"word" the ancient Greek word
"ῥῆμα" ≈ "spoken word" and which is the source of the English word
"rhetoric". These are not
utterances, swear words, empty words, weasel words, etc.
The
KJV translates as
"account" the ancient Greek word
"λόγος" ≈ "rational explanation" used in words ending in
"ology" such as "
geology".
Note that both Greek words for "
word" are used in this verse. The first often (but not always) refers to spoken words. The second often (but not always) refers to written words and is here translated by the
KJV as "
account" as in having a "
purpose" that needs to be determined.
106. Matthew 12:37 Day of separation giving
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. [kjv]
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση [gnt]
This is
node 7 of "
killing" (including oneself) at the
end of the "
scattered" "
path" which is a dead-end.
107. Matthew 12:37 Day of separation giving
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. [kjv]
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση [gnt]
This is
node 7 (no killing, peacemakers, harvest at end of age).
"Reasoning" can "justify" (oneself).
"Reasoning" can "condemn" (oneself).
108. Matthew 7:1
KJV: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Greek: μη κρινετε ινα μη κριθητε
109. Matthew 12:37
KJV: For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Greek: εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση
Latin: ex verbis enim tuis iustificaberis et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis
Wessex: Soðlice of þinen worden þu byst rihtwised. & of þinum worden þu byst ge-niþored.
Wycliffe: for of thi wordis thou schalt be iustified, and of thi wordis thou shalt be dampned.
Tyndale: For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustifyed: and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned.
Luther: Aus deinen Worten wirst du gerechtfertiget werden und aus deinen Worten wirst du verdammt werden.
Slavonic: от словес бо своих оправдишися и от словес своих осудишися.
Russian: ибо от слов своих оправдаешься, и от слов своих осудишься.
Spanish: Porque por tus palabras serás justificado, y por tus palabras serás condenado.
Portuguese: Porque pelas tuas palavras serás justificado e pelas tuas palavras serás condenado. »
110. Scattered path
From
node 1 (covet) one can progress on the scattered path.
node 2 (no false witness)
node 3 (no stealing)
node 4 (no adultery)
node 7 (no killing)
Interestingly, these are all negative in the sense of the Ten Commandment correspondence. When one follows the "
scattered path" on appears to encounter the negative of the negative, or positive aspect of those Commandments.
node 2 false witness
node 3 stealing
node 4 adultery
node 7 killing
111. Similarities
The path to life is
node 1 (covet) to
node 5 (treasure) to
node 8 (life). How can one get off track from
node 1?
"Blasphemy", which could be clever but outright deceptions, takes one from node 1 to node 2 and on the way of the scattered path that ends in node 7 (no killing node).
"Idle words", clever but more hidden deceptions and reasonings that do not work for Christ, take one from node 5 (treasure, living bread) to node 6 (pearl, tradition) on the way to node 7 (no killing node).
112. Gathering
From
node 1 (covet) one can "
gather" which leads to
node 5 (good) but possibly then to
node 6 (pearl, honor parents, tradition) (not good).
Some went to the unique "field" at node 5 (treasure, living bread).
Some went to their "merchandise" at node 6 (pearl, honor parents, tradition)
What lures one from
node 5 to
node 6 (pearl, honor parents)? How about
"idle words"?
113. Ten Word Pin build
There appears to be a correspondence between the Ten Word Pin model and these verses. Does it help you remember the order of the verses and what each verse says?
114. Silence is golden
The idea of "
silence is golden" may be appropriate at times but can be used to keep others quiet when they should be speaking up.
Has this happened in the change of the meaning of
"idle words" from the
GNT to today?
Has the church ever redefined
"idle words" to keep people silent when they should be speaking up?
Words
not said can be as important as words said.

What is the "unpardonable" "sin"? What is an "idle word"? How might they be related? How are they related to "treasure" and "trees"? How might the Ten Word Pin model relate to these verses?
