Matthew 7:15

← Matthew 7:14 [words of Jesus] Matthew 7:15 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Matthew 7:16 [words of Jesus] →
Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
