Luke 6:43-45

A Tree and Its Fruit

43 “For ¹no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,

44 for ²each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.

45 ³The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces ⁴evil, ⁵for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
