Luke 6:43-45

A Tree and Its Fruit

43 "For r no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for s each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 t The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces u evil, v for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
