18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.

43 “For ^rno good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for ^seach tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 ^tThe good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces ^uevil, ^vfor out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

5 I am the vine; ^ayou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^bbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

1 What shall we say then? ^mAre we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can ⁿwe who died to sin still live in it?
