Matthew 7:15-20

New Century Version

People Know You by Your Actions

¹⁵ “Be careful of false prophets. They come to you looking gentle like sheep, but they are really dangerous like wolves. ¹⁶ You will know these people by what they do. Grapes don’t come from thornbushes, and figs don’t come from thorny weeds. ¹⁷ In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ In the same way, you will know these false prophets by what they do.
