Matthew 7

¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

²⁰ So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.

²¹ Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

²² Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

²³ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
