16 “You will 1aknow them by their fruits. 2Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

17 “So aevery 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.

19 “aEvery tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 “So then, you will 1know them aby their fruits.
