Recognising the tree by the fruit

Mat 7:15–20

Luke 6:43–44

7:15 Recognising the tree by the fruit

(Luke 6:43-44)

15Watch out for false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside they are swindling wolves. 16You’ll all know who they are if you observe their fruit. Does anyone pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17Similarly, every good tree produces good fruit, but the bad tree produces evil fruit. 18A good tree can’t produce bad fruit and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19[ref]Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown in the fire. 20[ref]So then, you’ll know the false teachers by observing their fruit.


6:43 The tree is recognised by its fruit

(Mat. 7:16-20)

43A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit, 44[ref]but each tree is recognised by the fruit it produces. You don’t pick figs from thistles or pick grapes from thorn bushes.
