You offspring of snakes! How can you, being evil (ponēroi | πονηροί | nom pl masc), speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
If then you, who are evil (ponēroi | πονηροί | nom pl masc), know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
but if your eye is evil (ponēros | πονηρός | nom sg masc), your whole body will be filled with darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on the evil (ponērous | πονηρούς | acc pl masc) and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
