Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they
are ferocious wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes
from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit,
but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree
cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruits you will recognize them.
Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but
only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that
day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out
demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you.
Away from me, you evildoers!”
