The Test of a Good Person
15 | Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. |
16 | Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
17 | Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. |
18 | A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. |
19 | Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. |
20 | Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. |
43 | For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. |
44 | For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. |
45 | A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. |
