New Testament

Matthew 7:18-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. A good tree can't bear bad fruit. And a bad tree can't bear good fruit.

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

20. You can tell each tree by its fruit.

21. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants will enter.

22. "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord! Lord! Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we drive out demons in your name? Didn't we do many miracles in your name?'

23. Then I will tell them clearly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who do evil!'
