Matthew 7:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ You will know these people by ·what they do [^Ltheir fruit]. ·Grapes don’t come [^LCan you pick grapes…?] from thornbushes, ·and figs don’t come from [^Land figs from…?] ·thorny weeds [thistles]. ¹⁷ In the same way, every ·good [healthy; sound] tree produces good fruit, but a ·bad [rotten; diseased] tree produces bad fruit. ¹⁸ A ·good [healthy; sound] tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a ·bad [rotten; diseased] tree cannot produce good fruit.
