Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Cast away from you all the transgressions by which you have transgressed, and prepare for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, O house of Israel?

Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah, the God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.

Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of repentance,

And now already the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore any tree which does not bear good fruit is cut off and thrown into the fire.

You will know them from their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, nor is a corrupt tree able to produce excellent fruit.

Therefore from their fruits you will know them.

And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

For a good tree does not produce bad fruit, nor does a bad tree produce good fruit.

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

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is dried up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
