Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Attendite a falsis prophetis,
qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium,
intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
Quia non potest arbor bona fructus malos facere:
neque arbor mala fructus bonos facere.

English.png English translation

Beware of false prophets,
which come to you, in sheeps' clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves:
ye shall know them by their fruits.
For a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit:
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

(Geneva Bible)
