Matthew 7:15-20

15“Beware of the 1false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are 2ravenous wolves. 16You will 34know them by their fruits. 5Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? 17So 6every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 197Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So then, you will 8know them 9by their fruits.
