Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known.

So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.

A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.

And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up.

And already the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.

And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.
