Matthew 7:15-23

¹⁵“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

¹⁶By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

¹⁷Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

¹⁸A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

¹⁹Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

²⁰Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

²¹“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

²²Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’

²³Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
