Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by its fruit.

every good tree bears sound fruit, but a rotten tree bears bad fruit;

a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot bear sound fruit.

No sound tree bears rotten fruit, nor again does a rotten tree bear sound fruit:

and noticing a fig tree by the roadside he went up to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you after this!" And instantly the fig tree withered up.

through the streets of the City; on both sides of the river grew the tree of Life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, each month having its own fruit; and the leaves served to heal the nations.

The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

[Relocated to follow vs 20] Any tree that does not produce sound fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

each tree is known by its fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, and grapes are not plucked from a bramble-bush.

And he told this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; he came in search of fruit on it but he found none.

So he said to the vinedresser, 'Here have I come for three years in search of fruit on this fig tree without finding any; cut it down, why should it take up space?'
