• 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you
  in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
  ravening wolves.
• 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
  gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
• 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good
  fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
  fruit.
• 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
  neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
  fruit.
• 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
  is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
• 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them
  (Matt. 7).
