It is often used metaphorically to refer to the visible results or outcomes of a person's life or actions, particularly in a spiritual or moral context. The term implies productivity and the manifestation of inner qualities or virtues.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, fruit-bearing was a common and vital part of daily life. The imagery of bearing fruit was easily understood by the original audience, as it was directly related to agricultural practices and the sustenance of life. In a spiritual sense, bearing fruit was associated with living a life that reflects one's faith and relationship with God, producing qualities such as love, joy, peace, and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2592</b> <i>karpophoréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2590.htm">2590</a> <i>/karpós</i>, "fruit" and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">5342</a> <i>/phérō</i>, "to bring") – to bring forth fruit. <a href="/greek/2590.htm">See 2590</a> (<i>karpos</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2593.htm">karpophoros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bear fruit<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bear fruit (4), bearing fruit (2), bears fruit (1), produces crops (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 2592: καρποφορέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καρποφορέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καρποφόρω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐκαρποφόρησα</span>; present passive participle <span class="greek2">καρποφορουμενος</span>; (<span class="greek2">καρποφόρος</span>, which see); <span class="accented">to bear fruit</span>; (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">fructifico</span>; <span class="abbreviation">Columella</span> (<DATE_RANGE:50 A.D.>), <span class="abbreviation">Tertullian</span>); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly, ((<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>), <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, de hist. plant. 3, 3, 7; <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 2, 49): <span class="greek2">χόρτον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-28.htm">Mark 4:28</a> (<span class="greek2">φυτά</span>, Wis. 10:7). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> metaphorically, <span class="accented">to bear, bring forth, deeds</span>: thus of men who show their knowledge of religion by their conduct, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-23.htm">Matthew 13:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-20.htm">Mark 4:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-15.htm">Luke 8:15</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> (for <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 103 (90), see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εἷς</span></span>, 4 a.)) <span class="greek2">τριάκοντα</span> etc. namely, <span class="greek2">καρποις</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-20.htm">Mark 4:20</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span> text (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, I. 5 f.); <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">παντί</span> <span class="greek2">ἔργῳ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγαθῷ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/colossians/1-10.htm">Colossians 1:10</a>; <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> (dative commodi]) to one who reaps the fruit, i. e. fruit acceptable to him, <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεῷ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/7-4.htm">Romans 7:4</a>; <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">θανάτῳ</span>, i. e.
