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.

You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?

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

Then Jesus told them this parable: "A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.

So he told the gardener, "Look here! For three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this tree but I haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'

Maybe next year it will bear fruit. If not, then cut it down.'"

He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit.
