Matthew 12:33

James Moffatt - New Testament

Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by its fruit.

See the chapter Copy

draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives? Or a vine, figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.

Blind Pharisee! first clean the inside of the cup, so that the outside may be clean as well.
