Thematic Bible: Corrupt trees
Thematic Bible
Corruption » Corrupt trees
For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit. Every tree is known by its own peculiar fruit. For men do not gather figs from off thorns, nor do they gather from the bramble a bunch of grapes. A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by the fruit.
So every good tree beareth good fruits; but every bad tree in kind, produceth bad fruits. A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, neither can a tree bad in kind produce good fruits.
