15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16
You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17
So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.
18
A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20
Thus you will know them by their fruits.
