"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, because a tree is known by its fruit.

In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.

Seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He told it, "May fruit never come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree dried up.

The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree that isn't producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
