So then from their fruits ye will know them.
From their fruits ye will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by its fruit.
For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush.
A fig tree, my brothers, cannot make olives, or a grapevine figs. In the same way, no one spring makes water salty and sweet.
