It is often used metaphorically to refer to spiritual fruitfulness, indicating a life that produces good works and virtues as a result of a relationship with God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, fruitfulness was a common metaphor for prosperity and blessing. The concept of bearing fruit was deeply embedded in Jewish thought, symbolizing the visible evidence of God's favor and the fulfillment of His promises. In the New Testament, this metaphor is extended to describe the spiritual life of believers, emphasizing the importance of living a life that reflects the character and teachings of Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2590.htm">karpos</a> and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">pheró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fruitful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fruitful (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2593: καρποφόρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καρποφόρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καρποφόρον</span> (<span class="greek2">καρπός</span> and <span class="greek2">φέρω</span>), <span class="accented">fruit-bearing, fruitful, productive</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-17.htm">Acts 14:17</a>.
