Bible verses about "fruitfulness" | Noyes

¹⁶ Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples.

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;

⁵ even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, ⁶ and to knowledge selfcontrol, and to selfcontrol endurance, and to endurance godliness, ⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

¹⁴ What doth it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he hath faith, and have not works? Can his faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself. ¹⁸ But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble. ²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples. ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things which I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ This I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember what I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my words, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things will they do to you on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law: "They hated me without a cause." ²⁶ When the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he will bear witness of me. ²⁷ And ye also are witnesses, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
