18Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere:A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit,neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
19Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.

21Non omnis qui dicit mihi,Not all who say to me,Domine,‘Lord,Domine,Lord,’intrabit in regnum cælorum:will enter into the kingdom of heaven.sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei,But whoever does the will of my Father,qui in cælis est,who is in heaven,ipse intrabit in regnum cælorum.the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc,Therefore,et facit ea,everyone who hears these words of mineassimilabitur viro sapienti,and does them shall be compared to a wise man,qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,who built his house upon the rock.
25et descendit pluvia,And the rains descended,et venerunt flumina,and the floods rose up,et flaverunt venti,and the winds blew,et irruerunt in domum illam,and rushed upon that house,et non cecidit:but it did not fall,fundata enim erat super petram.for it was founded on the rock.
26Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto,And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man,qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam:who built his house upon the sand.
27et descendit pluvia,And the rains descended,et venerunt flumina,and the floods rose up,et flaverunt venti,and the winds blew,et irruerunt in domum illam,and rushed upon that house,et cecidit,and it did fall,et fuit ruina illius magna.and great was its ruin.”
