A tree is recognised by its fruit

Mat 12:33–37

12:33 A tree is recognised by its fruit

(Luke 6:43-45)

33 “Either make both the tree and its fruit good, or make them both bad, because a tree is known by its fruit.[ref] 34 You brood of snakes![ref] You’re evil inside, so why do you think you can say anything that’s good? After all, your mouths speak out of what’s plentiful in your hearts.[ref] 35 A good person produces good words out of their store of goodness, and an evil person produces evil words out of their store of evil.

36 “But I’m telling you that people will have to give an account on judgement day for every worthless sentence they’ve spoken, 37 because you’ll be either be convicted, or be declared guiltless, by the things that you yourself have said.”

36 But I_am_saying to_you_all that every idle message that the people will_be_speaking, they_will_be_giving_back an_account for it in day of_judgement.
37 For/Because you_will_be_being_justified by the messages of_you, and you_will_be_being_convicted by the messages of_you.

6:43 The tree is recognised by its fruit

(Mat. 7:16-20; 12:33-35)

43 “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit, 44 but each tree is recognised by the fruit it produces.[ref] You don’t pick figs from thistles or pick grapes from thorn bushes. 45 A good person produces good deeds as a result of all the good things inside them, and an evil person produces evil actions as a result of the evil inside, because what comes out of your mouth originates in your mind.[ref]
