FRUIT INSPECTION
(Mat 7:15-20) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
know them.
FRUIT INSPECTION
I.Inspect his DEEDS
(Col 1:10) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
(Tit 3:14) And let ours also learn to maintain good
works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
(Php 1:11) Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God.
(Jas 3:17-18) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of
mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace
of them that make peace.
(Gal 5:22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith,

DESCENDANTS
(Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them.
(Gen 1:28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
(Gen 9:1) And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth.
(Exo 1:7) And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly,
and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with
them.
(Mal 2:14) Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness
between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt
treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy
covenant.
(Mal 2:15) And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to
your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his
youth.
(Pro 20:7) The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after
him.
(Pro 17:6) Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of
children are their fathers.
(Exo 34:7) Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and
transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the
fourth generation.
(Lev 26:39) And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
(Lev 26:40) If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
(Lam 5:7) Our fathers have sinned, and are
not; and we have borne their iniquities.

(1Ti 3:1-5) This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good
behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no
striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection
with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own
house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

(Mat 7:15-20) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.
(1Jn 1:1-3) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the
Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard
declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and
truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
(Act 4:13) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and
they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
(Act 11:26) And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church,
and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians
first in Antioch.
(2Pe 2:1-3) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among
you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many
shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall
be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation
slumbereth not.
