Thematic Bible: Everything being known by the fruit it bears
Thematic Bible
Bearing fruit » Everything being known by the fruit it bears
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit. For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good, and the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart brings forth the bad, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
But beware of FALSE prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are predatory wolves. From their fruits ye will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by its fruit.
