Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Just
so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad
fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear
good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down
and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them.
(Matthew 7:17-20)
