King James Version
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:(Matthew 7:13)
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.(Matthew 7:14)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.(Matthew 7:15)
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.(Matthew 7:17)
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.(Matthew 7:18)
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.(Matthew 7:19)
