Luke 6:44

For euery tree is knowen by his owne fruite: for neither of thornes gather men figges, nor of bushes gather they grapes.

Geneva Bible 1599

In The King James Version

For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

In Context

43For it is not a good tree that bringeth foorth euill fruite: neither an euill tree, that bringeth foorth good fruite.

45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good, and an euill man out of the euill treasure of his heart bringeth foorth euill: for of the aboundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
