Thematic Bible: Corrupt trees
Thematic Bible
Corruption » Corrupt trees
"For there never is a healthy tree that bears poor fruit, nor a sickly tree that bears good fruit. For every tree is known by its fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or gather grapes from a bramble-bush. The good man, out of his good inner storehouse, brings forth what is good, the bad man, out of his bad one, what is bad. For a man's mouth usually speaks the things that fill his heart.
"You must either make the tree healthy and its fruits healthy or make the tree sickly and its fruits sickly, for a tree is judged by its fruit.
Verse Concepts
So any healthy tree bears good fruit and a sickly tree bears poor fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear poor fruit, and a sickly tree cannot bear good fruit.
