James 3:12

Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or the vine, figs? So no fountain can produce salt water and fresh.

By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree unsound, and its fruit unsound. For by the fruit the tree is known.

For a good tree does not produce unsound fruit; nor does an unsound tree produce good fruit.

Now, if the first fruit is holy, the mass is holy also: and if the root is holy, the branches are holy also.

Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree unsound, and its fruit unsound. For by the fruit the tree is known.

For a good tree does not produce unsound fruit; nor does an unsound tree produce good fruit.

Now, if the first fruit is holy, the mass is holy also: and if the root is holy, the branches are holy also.
