Mateo 7:19

19 Todo árbol que no lleva buen fruto, córtase y échase en el fuego.

Mateo 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".

Mateo 7:19 In-Context

17 Así, todo buen árbol lleva buenos frutos; mas el árbol maleado lleva malos frutos.
18 No puede el buen árbol llevar malos frutos, ni el árbol maleado llevar frutos buenos.
19 Todo árbol que no lleva buen fruto, córtase y échase en el fuego.
20 Así que, por sus frutos los conoceréis.
21 No todo el que me dice: Señor, Señor, entrará en el reino de los cielos: mas el que hiciere la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
