IF THE TREE IS GOOD THE FRUIT IS GOOD.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. By their fruits ye shall know them. (Matt. 7:16, 17, 20) If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for [their] body, what use is that? (James 2:15, 16 ) Say to the righteous that [it will go] well [with them], For they will eat the fruit of their actions.(Isa 3:10) Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; (1 John 3:7 ) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. (James 3:11-13 ) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (1 Pet. 2:12 ) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; (2 Cor 9:10) "Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; (Matt 3:8 ) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. (Matt. 12:33 ) A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. (Matt. 12:35 )
