In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit. But a bad tree bears bad fruit.

这样，凡好树都结好果子，惟独坏树结坏果子。

这样，凡好树都结好果子，而坏树结坏果子。

这样，凡好树都结好果子，而坏树结坏果子。

同样，好树结好果子，坏树结坏果子；

照样，好树结好果子，坏树结坏果子；

同样，好树都结好果子，坏树就结坏果子；

這樣，凡好樹都結好果子，惟獨壞樹結壞果子。

這樣，凡好樹都結好果子，而壞樹結壞果子。

這樣，凡好樹都結好果子，而壞樹結壞果子。

同樣，好樹結好果子，壞樹結壞果子；

照樣，好樹結好果子，壞樹結壞果子；

照樣子，凡是好樹都結好果子，而壞樹卻結惡果子。

同樣，好樹都結好果子，壞樹就結壞果子；

善樹結善果、惡樹結惡果、

善樹結善果、惡樹結惡果、

凡善樹結善果、惡樹結惡果、

是故嘉木皆生嘉實、惡木必結惡果；

Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.

In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.

So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithfuland gentle and having control of oneself. There is no law against things of that kind.Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful desires to his cross. They don’t want these things anymore.

“ If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good. If you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad. You can tell a tree by its fruit.You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up inside him. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up inside him.

Their roots will be firm in the house of the Lord. They will grow strong and healthy in the courtyards of our God.When they get old, they will still bear fruit. Like young trees they will stay fresh and strong.

The light produces what is completely good, right and true.

That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.

You will be filled with the fruit of right living produced by Jesus Christ. All these things bring glory and praise to God.

Then you will be able to lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will please him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We pray that you will grow to know God better.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.

So the Lord said,“ People of Jerusalem and Judah, you be the judge between me and my vineyard.What more could I have done for my vineyard? I did everything I could. I kept looking for a crop of good grapes. So why did it produce only bad ones?Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence. And the vineyard will be destroyed. I will break down its wall. And people will walk all over my vineyard.

Then Jesus told a story.“ A man had a fig tree,” he said.“ It was growing in his vineyard. When he went to look for fruit on it, he didn’t find any.So he went to the man who took care of the vineyard. He said,‘ For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree. But I haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’“‘ Sir,’ the man replied,‘ leave it alone for one more year. I’ll dig around it and feed it.If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”

I had been like a gentle lamb led off to be killed. I didn’t realize they had made plans against me. They had said,“ Let’s destroy the tree and its fruit. Let’s take away his life. Then his name won’t be remembered anymore.”

He wants me to help those in Zion who are filled with sorrow. I will put beautiful crowns on their heads in place of ashes. I will anoint them with olive oil to give them joy instead of sorrow. I will give them a spirit of praise in place of a spirit of sadness. They will be like oak trees that are strong and straight. The Lord himself will plant them in the land. That will show how glorious he is.

They will be like a tree planted near water. It sends out its roots beside a stream. It is not afraid when heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It does not worry when there is no rain. It always bears fruit.”

These ungodly people are like stains at the meals you share. They have no shame. They are shepherds who feed only themselves. They are like clouds without rain. They are blown along by the wind. They are like trees in the fall. Since they have no fruit, they are pulled out of the ground. So they die twice.
