- for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

- `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
- From their fruits ye shall know them; do `men' gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?
- so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

- Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:
- therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.
