| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. | 43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. |
| 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. | 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. |
