“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?

For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
