Gospel According To Matthew
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.
Thus, by their fruits you will know them.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.
Thus every good tree bears good fruit, but a rotten tree bears bad fruit.
By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
And beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
