19Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21¶ Not euery one that saith vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen: but he that doth the will of my father which is in heauen. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not prophecied in thy name? and in thy name haue cast out deuils? and in thy name done many wonderfull works? 23And then wil I professe vnto them, I neuer knew you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquity.
