Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV) 36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
1 Corinthians 3:8 (NIV) The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself. Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
