Luke 6:43

A Tree and Its Fruit

42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.43No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.44For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
