Know Them by Their Fruit 

Matthew 7:15-27

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

16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 

17 In the same way, every healthy tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit. 

18 A healthy tree cannot produce bad fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce good fruit. 

19 Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 

20 So then, you will recognize them by their fruit. 

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

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’ 

23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’  

24 “Everyone, then, who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, 

25 and the rain fell, and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat violently against that house, and yet it did not fall because it had been founded on the rock. 

26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, 

27 and the rain fell, and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its fall!”
