Matthew 7:15-20 - The Sermon On The Mount: Recognizing False Prophets
15 Beware of false prophets; they come to you with the garb of sheep but at heart they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruit; do men gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? No, 17 every good tree bears sound fruit, but a rotten tree bears bad fruit; 18 a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot bear sound fruit. 19 [Relocated to follow vs 20] Any tree that does not produce sound fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you will know them by their fruit.
