Matthew 7:13-18

13“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.

14But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

15“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.

16You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

17A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.

18A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.
