Luke 6:43
Douay-Rheims
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
Titus of Bostra
But take not these words to thyself as an encouragement to idleness, for the tree is moved conformably to its nature, but thou hast the exercise of free will; and every barren tree has been ordained for some good, but thou wert created unto the good work of virtue.
