By Their Fruits by William Henry Venable Above the clash of counter creeds These gospel accents swell: Whoever doeth righteous deeds Hath read his Bible well. Like fragrant blooms of lavish spring Are adoration's vows; The tree that pleases God will bring Fair fruitage on its boughs. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. – Matthew 7:15-20The Bible, KJV “ Find Related Poems Christian Poems Bible Poems Poems About Helping Others
