Matthew 7:16

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

Even a child is known by his doings, Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
