James 3:12

My brethren, whether is the fig-tree able to produce olives, or the vine figs? Neither is the bitter fountain able to produce sweet water.

You shall know them by their fruits. Do the people gather the grape-bunches 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 the fruit.

For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.

But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.

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

You shall know them by their fruits. Do the people gather the grape-bunches 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 the fruit.

For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.

But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.
