Mateus 7:19

19 Toda árvore que não produz bom fruto é cortada e lançada no fogo.

Mateus 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 7:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
Every preacher and teacher that does not bring the Gospel of Christ with him, and plainly and faithfully preach it to the people, sooner or later,

is hewn down:
however he may have appeared as a tall lofty cedar, and have carried it with a high hand against Christ and his Gospel, spoke "great swelling words of vanity", and behaved with much "loftiness" and "haughtiness"; yet the time comes on, when all this is bowed and made low, "and the Lord alone is exalted": such preachers are either cut off from the churches of Christ, or hewn down by death,

and cast into the fire;
into the fire of hell; into the lake of fire and brimstone, "where the beast and false prophet shall be".

Mateus 7:19 In-Context

17 Assim, toda árvore boa produz bons frutos; porém a árvore má produz frutos maus.
18 Uma árvore boa não pode dar maus frutos; nem uma árvore má dar frutos bons.
19 Toda árvore que não produz bom fruto é cortada e lançada no fogo.
20 Portanto, pelos seus frutos os conhecereis.
21 Nem todo o que me diz: Senhor, Senhor! entrará no reino dos céus, mas aquele que faz a vontade de meu Pai, que está nos céus.
