⁴³ For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil `man' out of the evil `treasure' bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

⁴⁶ And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.

⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

¹⁰ Say ye of the righteous, that `it shall be' well `with him'; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

²³ And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for `our' adoption, `to wit', the redemption of our body.

⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and `so' shall ye be my disciples.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.

²⁴ And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, `even' to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

⁹ (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

¹⁰ proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

²¹ What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

²² But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
