If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold
his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and
all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in
all churches of the saints.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
