Matthew 7:10–18
10Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?↗
11If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!↗
12Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.↗
13“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.↗
14How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.↗
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.↗
16By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?↗
17Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.↗
18A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.↗
