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.
