Matthew 7:20

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

See the chapter Copy

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

And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;

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.

For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.

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