Good and bad preachers are known by their doctrines, the one being agreeable, the other disagreeable to the word of God; and good and bad men are known by their lives and conversations: the grace of God revealed to good men, and wrought in them, teaches them to live soberly, righteously, and godly; a holy life is the fruit of grace, and an evidence of it; and the wickedness that is in the heart of unregenerate men, and even the hypocrisy of formal professors, will show themselves in the common and ordinary course of their conversations:<\/p>\n for of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes<\/strong>; nor can they be expected from them: and no more can an unregenerate man perform good works, or bring forth: fruits of righteousness acceptable unto God; for these require a knowledge of his will, obedience to it, a principle of grace, love to God, faith in Christ, and a view to the glory of God; all which are wanting in such a person.<\/p>\n Is known <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). The fruit of each tree reveals its actual character. It is the final test. This sentence is not in Mt 7:17-20<\/span>, but the same idea is in the repeated saying (Matt 7:16<\/span>; Matt 7:20<\/span>): “By their fruits ye shall know them,” where the verb<\/P> epignosesthe <\/B> means full knowledge. The question in Mt 7:16<\/span> is put here in positive declarative form. The verb is in the plural for “men” or “people,” <\/SPAN><\/span>. See on Mt 7:16<\/span>.<\/P> Bramble bush <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). Old word, quoted from the LXX in Mark 12:26<\/span>; Luke 20:37<\/span> (from Ex 3:6<\/span>) about the burning bush that Moses saw, and by Stephen (Acts 7:30<\/span>; Acts 7:35<\/span>) referring to the same incident. Nowhere else in the N.T. “Galen has a chapter on its medicinal uses, and the medical writings abound in prescriptions of which it is an ingredient” (Vincent).<\/P> Gather <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). A verb common in Greek writers for gathering ripe fruit. In the N.T. only here and Re 14:18f<\/span>.<\/P> Grapes <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). Cluster of grapes. <\/P> <\/p>\n Bramble – bush [<\/SPAN><\/span>] Matthew has tribolwn, thistles. The word occurs only once outside of Luke’s writings, in Mr 12:26<\/span>, where it is used as the familiar title of a section of the Pentateuch. Luke also uses it in the same way (xx. 37). He was doubtless acquainted with it medicinally, as it was extensively used by ancient physicians. Galen has a chapter on its medicinal uses, and the medical writings abound in prescriptions of which it is an ingredient. Galen also has a saying similar to our Lord ‘s : “A farmer could never make a bramble bear grapes.” It is the word employed by the Septuagint for the bush out of which God spoke to Moses. <\/P> Grapes [] <\/SPAN><\/span>.

Jas 3:12<\/span>.<\/p>\n (44) Of thorns men do not gather figs.<\/strong>The form of the illustration differs slightly from that in St. Matthew, where the thorns are connected with grapes, and the figs with thistles. The word for bramble bush is the same as that used in Luk. 20:37<\/span>, and in the LXX. version of Exo. 3:2-4<\/span>, and Deu. 33:16<\/span>, for the burning bush on Sinai. We may note further the use of a different Greek word (that specially connected, as in Rev. 14:18-19<\/span>, with the gathering of the vintage) for the second gather in St. Lukes report.<\/p>\n 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit.
