Matthew 7:20

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

So you’ll recognise them by their fruit.

See the chapter Copy

You’ll recognise them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?

So in the present case, I tell you, stay away from these men and leave them alone. For if this plan or this work is of human origin, it will fail;

‘Either make the tree good and its fruit will be good, or make the tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

For each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs aren’t gathered from thorn bushes, or grapes picked from a bramble bush.

Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.
