Matthew 7:18
"Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit."
Key Reflection
This verse illustrates that true righteousness, like a good tree, naturally bears good fruit—acts and attitudes that align with God's will. Conversely, a life devoid of genuine faith, represented by a corrupt tree, yields evil deeds that reflect its corrupted nature.
