A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
33 j“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the ktree is known by its fruit. 34 You lbrood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? mFor out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will ngive account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 a“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. bFor figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for cout of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
