========================
Matthew 7:15-20
========================
15“Watch out for false
prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious
wolves.
16By their fruit you will
recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes,
or figs from thistles?
17Likewise, every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18A good tree cannot bear bad
fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20Thus, by their fruit you
will recognize them.
