²³ But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears ^(A)fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness ^(A)which are by Jesus Christ, ^(B)to the glory and praise of God.

^16 (A)You did not choose Me, but I chose you and ^(B)appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father ^(C)in My name He may give you.

A Tree Known by Its Fruit^(A)

³³ “Either make the tree good and ^(B)its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^(C)goodness, ^(D)faithfulness, ^23 [a]gentleness, self-control. ^(E)Against such there is no law.

⁸ But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some ^(A)a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

⁶ which has come to you, ^(A)as it has also in all the world, and ^(B)is bringing forth ^[a]fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew ^(C)the grace of God in truth;
