Either allow the tree to be good, and its fruit good; or else say the tree is corrupt, and its fruit corrrupt: for a tree is distinguished by its fruit.

or figs of thistles? so every good tree yields good fruit: but a corrupt tree yields bad fruit.

a good tree cannot produce bad fruit: neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

when seeing a fig-tree by the way, he came to it, and finding nothing thereon, but bare leaves, said to it, may you never more bear fruit. and presently the fig-tree withered away.

in the midst of the area, surrounded by the river, was the tree of life, which had twelve fruit-seasons, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Peter remembring the tree, said, master, see the fig-tree, which you cursed, is quite withered.

Certainly a good tree does not produce bad fruit: nor does a bad tree produce good fruit.

the ax is already laid to the root of the trees: every tree then which does not produce good fruit, will be hewn down, and cast into the fire.

the ax is already laid to the root of the trees: every tree then, which does not produce good fruit, shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Then by way of similitude, consider, said he, the fig-tree, and all the other trees;

the God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, and hanged on a tree.

for if you were taken from the wild olive, which was natural to you, to be grafted into a good olive-stock of a different nature, with how much greater reason shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. (for it is written, " cursed is every one, that hangeth upon a tree.")

every tree that doth not yield good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire.

'tis one indeed of the smallest grains: but when it is grown, it is the largest of the pulse kind, and becomes a tree: so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

can a fig-tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine figs? no more can the sea yield water that is fresh.

he that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith to the churches, to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God."

of heaven fell down to the earth, even as a fig-tree casteth its untimely figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind: the heaven disappeared as a book when it is rolled up:

upon which the disciples said to one another, much surpriz'd, how came the fig-tree to wither away so suddenly?

blessed are they who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
