Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.
You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. For from thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
