You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware
of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly
they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them
by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from
thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good
tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into
the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will
know them."
