Matthew 7:13-20 (New International Version)
View In My BibleThe Narrow and Wide Gates
13 "Enter through the narrow gate.1 For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.A Tree and Its Fruit
15 "Watch out for false prophets.2 They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.3 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.4 Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?5 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.6 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.7 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.Scripture quoted by permission.
