16 You will a know them by their fruits. b Grapes are not
gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are
they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor
can a bad tree produce good fruit.
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

God is Love
1 John 4:7 21•
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves
is a born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know
God, for God is love. 9 By this the love of God was manifested b in us, that God
has sent His c only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through
Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His
Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also
ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time; if we love one
another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that
we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 We have
seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in
God. 16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has d for
us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in
him. 17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the
day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear
in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear e involves punishment, and
the one who fears is not perfected in love. 19 We love, because He first loved
us. 20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one
who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has
not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves
God should love his brother also.

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as

He intercedes for the a saints according to the will of God.
