Matthieu 7:19

19 Tout arbre qui ne porte pas de bons fruits est coupé et jeté au feu.

Matthieu 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".

Matthieu 7:19 In-Context

17 Tout bon arbre porte de bons fruits, mais le mauvais arbre porte de mauvais fruits.

18 Un bon arbre ne peut porter de mauvais fruits, ni un mauvais arbre porter de bons fruits.

19 Tout arbre qui ne porte pas de bons fruits est coupé et jeté au feu.

20 C'est donc à leurs fruits que vous les reconnaîtrez.

21 Ceux qui me disent: Seigneur, Seigneur! n'entreront pas tous dans le royaume des cieux, mais celui-là seul qui fait la volonté de mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
