SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:35
El hombre bueno del buen tesoro del corazn saca buenas cosas; y el hombre malo del mal tesoro saca malas cosas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:35
Verse 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart] thv kardiav, of the heart, is omitted by upwards of one hundred MSS., many of them of the greatest antiquity and authority; by all the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic; by the Slavonic, Saxon, Vulgate, and Itala, (except four,) and by several of the primitive fathers. It seems to have been added here by some copyist, merely to explain. The good heart is the good treasury, and the treasure that is in it is the love of God, and of all mankind. The bad heart is the bad treasury, and its treasure is the carnal mind, which is enmity against God, and ill-will to man.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart , etc.] A good man, is a regenerated man, one that is renewed by the Spirit of God, a believer in Christ, a sincere lover of him, and one that follows him, wheresoever he goes, and who has the grace of God implanted in him: for the good treasure the heart, is not what he is naturally possessed of, but what is put into him: and is no other than the superabundant grace of God, or that grace for grace, which he has received out of Christs fulness, and the rich experience of it he is blessed with: and may well be called a treasure; for as a treasure is a collection of riches, so this consists of various graces, each of which is more precious than gold, silver, and precious stones; a good one, both from the quality and quantity of it; and of the heart, though this is left out in many copies, from the seat and subject of it; and out of this the gracious man bringeth forth good things ; tells his experience, speaks of what God has done for his soul; says many things to the glory of the grace of God; of the person, offices, blood, righteousness, and fulness of Christ; and of the operations and influences of the blessed Spirit; and which are pleasant, profitable, useful, and edifying to the saints: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things . The evil man, is a man as he was born; who is wholly flesh, carnal, and in a state of nature; destitute of the Spirit, and having no principle of grace in him: the evil treasure, is the corruption of his nature, the desperate wickedness of his heart; and those swarms of lusts, and all manner of sin that dwell there; from whence are continually proceeding evil and corrupt communications, which not only defile himself, but others; and among the rest, not only vain words and unprofitable talk, but blasphemies against God, Christ, and the blessed Spirit; all which men will be accountable for another day.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-37 - Men's language discovers what country they are of, likewise what manne of spirit they are of. The heart is the fountain, words are the streams. A troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring, must send fort muddy and unpleasant streams. Nothing but the salt of grace, cast int the spring, will heal the waters, season the speech, and purify the corrupt communication. An evil man has an evil treasure in his heart and out of it brings forth evil things. Lusts and corruptions, dwellin and reigning in the heart, are an evil treasure, out of which the sinner brings forth bad words and actions, to dishonour God, and hur others. Let us keep constant watch over ourselves, that we may spea words agreeable to the Christian character.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
35. Bringeth forth (ekballei). But the translation is feeble. The word means to throw or fling out. The good or evil things come forth out of the treasure of the heart (34). "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." The issues of the heart are thrown out, as if under pressure of the abundance within.
