13 ` Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

17 s o every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.

20 t herefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

So that by their fruits ye shall know them.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 ` Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

Therefore, whosoever hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
