⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶ "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do 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 Yahweh, Until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

⁵ I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

⁶ If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

¹⁰ Tell the righteous "Good!" For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

²³ Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

⁸ "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

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

²³ gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

²⁴ Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

⁸ Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!

⁴ Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

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

⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which 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? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

⁸ For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

⁹ for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

¹⁰ proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

¹¹ 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 peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

²¹ What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

²² But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of 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, yes, than fine gold; My yield than choice silver.
