Matthew 7:13-20
13“1EnterG1525 throughG1223 the narrowG4728 gateG4439; for the gateG4439 is wideG4116 and the wayG3598 is broadG2149 that leadsG520 to destructionG684, and thereG1510 are manyG4183 who enterG1525 throughG1223 it. 14For the gateG4439 is smallG4728 and the wayG3598 is narrowG2346 that leadsG520 to lifeG2222, and thereG1510 are fewG3641 who findG2147 it.
15“BewareG4337 of the 2falseG5578 prophetsG5578, whoG3748 comeG2064 to you in sheep’sG4263 clothingG1742, but inwardlyG2081 are 3ravenousG727 wolvesG3074. 16You will 45knowG1921 them by their fruitsG2590. 6GrapesG4718 are not gatheredG4816 from thornG173 bushes norG2228 figsG4810 from thistlesG5146, are they? 17SoG3779 7everyG3956 goodG18 treeG1186 bearsG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590, but the badG4550 treeG1186 bearsG4160 badG4190 fruitG2590. 18A goodG18 treeG1186 cannotG1410G3756 produceG5342 badG4190 fruitG2590, norG3761 can a badG4550 treeG1186 produceG5342 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 198EveryG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442. 20SoG1065 thenG686, you will 9knowG1921 them 10by their fruitsG2590.
