Matthew 7:17

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad ¹  tree bears bad fruit.

Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

"So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

"Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad ¹  tree bears bad fruit.
