Luke 6:43

Read in context

Luke 6:41–45 · Berean Standard Bible

41 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42 How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43 No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45 The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
