Most people know better.
16. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
20. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22.
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 24. Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, 25. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26. And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
27. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
28. And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. 29.
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
