Ἄραγε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς.
Thus, by their fruits you will know them.
Gospel According To Matthew
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.
How narrow is the gate and narrower is the way that leads to life, and very few are those who find it!
Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
In everything, therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do you also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him?
