Matthew 7:17-20

17 So, ¹every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.

18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.

19 ²Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Thus you will recognize them ³by their fruits.
