Matthew 7:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.^(A)

¹⁶ You will ^[a]fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

¹⁷ Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [^[b]worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.
