Either say that the tree is good, and its fruit good; or say that the tree is bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers!

So every good tree beareth good fruit; but a bad tree beareth bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor call a bad tree bear good fruit.

And already is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.

Every tree that beareth not good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
