A Tree and Its Fruit
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad[a] and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.(A) 34 Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow(B) of the heart. 35 A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good,[b] and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.(C)

New International Version
33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.(A) 34 You brood of vipers,(B) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(C) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
