Matthew 7:15-20

Warning Against False Prophets

Matthew 7:15-20

Warning Against False Prophets

15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you, in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues.
16
Ye shall know them by their fruites. Doe men gather grapes of thornes? or figges of thistles?
17
So euery good tree bringeth foorth good fruite, and a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruite.
18
A good tree can not bring forth euil fruite: neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruite.
19
Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
20
Therefore by their fruites ye shall knowe them.
