Matthew 7:16 Context
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth vnto life, and few there be that finde it. 15¶ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues. 16Yee shall knowe them by their fruits: Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles? 17Euen so, euery good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth euil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
