A Tree is Known by Its Fruit^(A)

⁴³ “A good tree doesn’t produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn’t produce good fruit, ⁴⁴ because every tree is known by its own fruit. People^[a] don’t gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush. ⁴⁵ A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure, because the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.”
