For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of 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.
“Determine the tree good because of good fruit, or the tree bad because of bad fruit; because the tis; from the fruit the tree will be known”
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
“By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?”
“Therefore it is according to fruits, that is, by their deeds, you will know them”
