【释义】：

观其果而知其树；(喻)观其行而知其人

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.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matt.7; 16-20

凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。

荆棘上岂能摘葡萄呢?蒺藜里岂能摘无花果。

这样，凡好树结好果子，唯独坏树结坏果子。

好树不能结坏果子，坏树不能结好果子。

凡不结好果子的树，就砍下来，丢在火里。

所以凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。

《马太福音》7∶16－20

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Matt.l2:33

你们或以为树好，果子也好；树坏，果子也坏。

因为看果子，就可以知道树。

《马太福音》12∶33］
