Matthew 7:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 You will [a](A)know them by their fruits. [b]Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So (B)every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

43 (A)For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, [a]on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 44 (B)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

John 15:4-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 (A)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit [a]of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he (B)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is (C)thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, (D)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
