In the biblical context, words are not merely sounds but are seen as expressions of the heart and mind. <a href="/proverbs/18-21.htm">Proverbs 18:21</a> states, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue," highlighting the profound impact words can have. In Jewish culture, words were considered binding, as seen in the importance of oaths and vows (<a href="/numbers/30-2.htm">Numbers 30:2</a>). Jesus, in this passage, underscores that words reflect one's inner character and faith. The concept of being "acquitted" suggests a legal setting, where one's words can serve as evidence of righteousness or faithfulness. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that faith is demonstrated through actions and words (<a href="/james/2-18.htm">James 2:18</a>).and by your words you will be condemned. The latter part of the verse serves as a warning about the potential negative consequences of one's speech. In the historical and cultural context of the time, the Pharisees and religious leaders were often criticized by Jesus for their hypocrisy and empty words (<a href="/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27-28</a>). This phrase suggests that careless or malicious words can lead to judgment and condemnation. The idea of being "condemned" by one's words is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, who often warned against the dangers of idle talk and false testimony (<a href="/matthew/15-11.htm">Matthew 15:11</a>). This reflects the broader biblical principle that God judges not only actions but also the intentions and words of individuals (<a href="/ecclesiastes/12-14.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:14</a>). The duality of acquittal and condemnation based on words underscores the importance of sincerity and truthfulness in speech, as well as the need for repentance and alignment with God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this verse, Jesus is addressing the Pharisees and the crowd, teaching about the significance of words and their reflection of the heart. 2. <a href="/topical/p/pharisees.htm">Pharisees</a> A religious group in Israel known for their strict adherence to the Law and traditions.

In this sense we are able to understand (without entering into the labyrinth of logomachies in which commentators on the Epistles have too often entangled themselves) how it is that men are said to be justified by faith (<a href="/romans/3-28.htm" title="Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.">Romans 3:28</a> et al.), justified by works (<a href="/james/2-24.htm" title="You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.">James 2:24</a>), justified--as here--by words. All three--faith, works, words--are alike elements of a man's character, making or showing what he is. Faith, implying trust and therefore love, justifies as the root element of character; "words," as its most spontaneous manifestation; works, as its more permanent results. Of the words and the works men can in some measure judge, and they are the tests by which a man should judge himself. The faith which lies deeper in the life is known only to God, and it is therefore by faith rather than by works that a man is justified before God, though the faith is no true faith unless it moulds the character and therefore enables the man to pass the other tests also.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 37. - For by (ἐκ) - referring to, as it were, the source of the verdict - thy words (τῶν λόγοι σου); thy, individualizing. Ob-nerve the change from ῤῆμα (ver. 36), which might in itself refer to the utterance of a madman, or to a parrot-like quotation. But by here using λόγοι our Lord shows that he is thinking of utterances of the reason. sentences spoken with a knowledge of their meaning, and forming parts of what are virtually, though not literally, discourses. A ῤῆμα may be the merely mechanical utterance of the lips, λόγοι imply consciousness. The presence of λόγον in the preceding clause is probably entirely accidental.
