Matteo 7:19

19 Ogni albero che non fa buon frutto è tagliato, e gettato nel fuoco.

Matteo 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 7:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
Every preacher and teacher that does not bring the Gospel of Christ with him, and plainly and faithfully preach it to the people, sooner or later,

is hewn down:
however he may have appeared as a tall lofty cedar, and have carried it with a high hand against Christ and his Gospel, spoke "great swelling words of vanity", and behaved with much "loftiness" and "haughtiness"; yet the time comes on, when all this is bowed and made low, "and the Lord alone is exalted": such preachers are either cut off from the churches of Christ, or hewn down by death,

and cast into the fire;
into the fire of hell; into the lake of fire and brimstone, "where the beast and false prophet shall be".

Matteo 7:19 In-Context

17 Così, ogni buon albero fa buoni frutti; ma l’albero malvagio fa frutti cattivi.
18 L’albero buono non può far frutti cattivi, nè l’albero malvagio far frutti buoni.
19 Ogni albero che non fa buon frutto è tagliato, e gettato nel fuoco.
20 Voi adunque li riconoscerete da’ loro frutti.
21 Non chiunque mi dice: Signore, Signore, entrerà nel regno de’ cieli; ma chi fa la volontà del Padre mio, che è ne’ cieli.
