Bearing fruit » Everything being known by the fruit it bears
For there is no good tree that beareth bad fruit; and again, there is no bad tree that beareth good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit; for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramblebush do they gather grapes. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Ye may know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Either say that the tree is good, and its fruit good; or say that the tree is bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers!
