Matthew 7:20

New Messianic Version Bible

“Therefore it is according to fruits, that is, by their deeds, you will know them”

See the chapter Copy

“By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?”

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:

“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”

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.
