Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
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).
Context
In Proverbs, the righteous are pictured as life‑bearing trees (Proverbs 11:30). Wisdom imagines character as fruitfulness that gathers rather than grasps.
Manuscripts & Textual Witnesses
The Hebrew text is preserved in the Masoretic tradition with remarkable accuracy. The the Dead Sea Scrolls (found 1947-1956) confirm the Hebrew text's reliability, showing minimal variation over 1000+ years of transmission.
