Matthew 7:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 You will recognize them by their fruits: they do not gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, do they?[a] 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree is not able to produce bad fruit, nor a bad tree to produce good fruit.
