Matthew 7:16

The English Standar Version

You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.

Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

Even a child makes himself known by his acts,[3] by whether his conduct is pure and upright.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
