Matthew 7:14-16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 But the gate is narrow (contracted [a]by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.(A)
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.(B)
16 You will [b]fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
