Matthew 7:16. Ye shall know them by their fruits.
They are sure to come out in their actions If you have not got the knowledge of theology, and the like, to, be able to judge their teaching, yet the simplest persons can judge their actions.. "You shall know them ‘by their fruits," which are sure to come out sooner or later.
Matthew 7:16. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Did you ever find a cluster of grapes growing upon a thorn-bush? Grapes and figs are pleasant fruit, and holy living, true devotion, communion with God - these are the things that are sweet to God and to good men. But they come not of false doctrine. They are not seen in false prophets. Such prophets despise such things as these. They are for worldly ways, and places of worldly gaiety they can frequent. Not so the servants of God.
