43 (A)For there is no good tree that bears bad fruit, nor, [a]on the other hand, a bad tree that bears good fruit.
44 (A)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.
16 You will [a](A)know them by their fruits. [b]Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they?
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
20 So then, you will [a]know them (A)by their fruits.
