Mt 7:15-20) 
15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 
17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree beard bad fruit 
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit 

19 Every three that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire

20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them
