16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit.(A) Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?(B) 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(C) 20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.(D)
