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.
Under Law men were subject to the authority of the Law and commandments by faith in God. The Law showed and taught men obedience and faithful men to God had a desire to keep the Law.
Under the New Testament the clean heart received in Salvation produces a clean tongue by the operation and power of a living Christ within. Not a commandment but a way of life from the new creation and result of the Holy Spirit within. A better blessing because of the power of Salvation within the better covenant built upon better promises. Jesus being the central source of a clean heart and the clean tongue.
Hebrews 7:22...By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Hebrews 8:6...But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
