James 3:12

Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries, or a vine figs? So can no fountain yield salt water and fresh.

By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men 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.

For there is no good tree which bringeth forth corrupt fruit, neither a corrupt tree, which bringeth forth good fruit.

For if the first-fruits be holy, so is the lump: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

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 ye shall know them. Do men 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.

For there is no good tree which bringeth forth corrupt fruit, neither a corrupt tree, which bringeth forth good fruit.

For if the first-fruits be holy, so is the lump: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
