Matthew 7:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

See the chapter Copy

Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.

Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known.

Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

The Lord judge between me and thee; and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.

By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.

But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,

But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
