Matthew 7:15-21 (Gospel)
- 15
- Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
- 16
- You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
- 17
- Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
- 18
- A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
- 19
- Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
- 20
- Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
- 21
- Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
