Footnotes

  1. 136 The principle of the passage is that one produces what one is.
  2. 137 Grk “they do not gather”; this has been simplified to the passive voice in the translation since the subject “they” is not specified further in the context.
  3. 138 This is a different verb (τρυγῶσιν, trugōsin) for gathering from the previous one (συλλέγουσιν, sullegousin).
  4. 139 This is a different term (βάτος, batos) for a thorn or bramble bush than the previous one (ἄκανθα, akantha). The statement nor are grapes picked from brambles illustrates the principle: That which cannot produce fruit, does not produce fruit.
