Interpretation

Proverbs 11:30 shows a fruit righteous that takes shape in meals and meetings—listen for "fruit" and "righteous". Work out fruit righteous in generosity without notice—learn freedom in service. Faith & Justification connects here: Explores how trust in God—rather than works—positions people in right relationship (Gen 15:6; Rom 3–4; Gal 2–3).
