Matthew 7:10-20

10 Or if your child asks for a fish, would you give him a snake?
11 Even though you're evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
12 "Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you. That is [the meaning of] Moses' Teachings and the Prophets.
13 "Enter through the narrow gate because the gate and road that lead to destruction are wide. Many enter through the wide gate.
14 But the narrow gate and the road that lead to life are full of trouble. Only a few people find the narrow gate.
15 "Beware of false prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep, but in their hearts they are vicious wolves.
16 You will know them by what they produce. "People don't pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles, do they?
17 In the same way every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.
19 Any tree that fails to produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into a fire.
20 So you will know them by what they produce.
