By their fruits ye shall know them.
[Matt.7:20]
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. ■ 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. ■ 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.
[I John.3:7 | Jas.3:11-13 | I Pet.2:12]
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. ■ 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.12:33 | Matt.12:35]
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
[Isa.5:4]
