43 For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless tree, produce good fruit.
For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.

For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble.

Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing the same, I will show you to whom he is like.

49 But, he that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, —against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.
But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.
