Matthew 7:15-20

Common English Bible CEB

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you dressed like sheep, but inside they are vicious wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruit. Do people get bunches of grapes from thorny weeds, or do they get figs from thistles?

17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, and every rotten tree produces bad fruit.

18 A good tree can't produce bad fruit. And a rotten tree can't produce good fruit.

19 Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore, you will know them by their fruit.

New International Version NIV

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

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.

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

20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
