So by their fruits you will know them. The True Disciple.
By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.
“Either declare the tree good and its fruit is good, or declare the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
Can a fig tree, my brothers, produce olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh. True Wisdom.
