Strong's References
- G18 — ἀγαθός (agathós, ag-ath-os'): a primary word; "good" (in any sense, often as noun); benefit, good(-s, things), well. Compare καλός (kalós) G2570.
- G1161 — δέ (dé, deh): a primary particle (adversative or continuative); but, and, etc.; also, and, but, moreover, now (often unexpressed in English)
- G1186 — δένδρον (déndron, den'-dron): probably from δρύς (drýs) (an oak); a tree; tree
- G2570 — καλός (kalós, kal-os'): of uncertain affinity; properly, beautiful, but chiefly (figuratively) good (literally or morally), i.e. valuable or virtuous (for appearance or use, and thus distinguished from ἀγαθός (agathós) G18, which is properly intrinsic); X better, fair, good(-ly), honest, meet, well, worthy
- G2590 — καρπός (karpós, kar-pos'): probably from the base of ἁρπάζω (harpázō) G726; fruit (as plucked), literally or figuratively; fruit
- G3779 — οὕτω (hoútō, hoo'-to): adverb from οὗτος (hoûtos) G3778; in this way (referring to what precedes or follows); after that, after (in) this manner, as, even (so), for all that, like(-wise), no more, on this fashion(-wise), so (in like manner), thus, what
- G3956 — πᾶς (pâs, pas): including all the forms of declension; apparently a primary word; all, any, every, the whole; all (manner of, means), alway(-s), any (one), X daily, + ever, every (one, way), as many as, + no(-thing), X thoroughly, whatsoever, whole, whosoever
- G4160 — ποιέω (poiéō, poy-eh'-o): apparently a prolonged form of an obsolete primary; to make or do (in a very wide application, more or less direct); abide, + agree, appoint, X avenge, + band together, be, bear, + bewray, bring (forth), cast out, cause, commit, + content, continue, deal, + without any delay, (would) do(-ing), execute, exercise, fulfil, gain, give, have, hold, X journeying, keep, + lay wait, + lighten the ship, make, X mean, + none of these things move me, observe, ordain, perform, provide, + have purged, purpose, put, + raising up, X secure, shew, X shoot out, spend, take, tarry, + transgress the law, work, yield. Compare πράσσω (prássō) G4238.
- G4190 — πονηρός (ponērós, pon-ay-ros'): from a derivative of πόνος (pónos) G4192; hurtful, i.e. evil (properly, in effect or influence, and thus differing from κακός (kakós) G2556, which refers rather to essential character, as well as from σαπρός (saprós) G4550, which indicates degeneracy from original virtue); figuratively, calamitous; also (passively) ill, i.e. diseased; but especially (morally) culpable, i.e. derelict, vicious, facinorous; neuter (singular) mischief, malice, or (plural) guilt; masculine (singular) the devil, or (plural) sinners; bad, evil, grievous, harm, lewd, malicious, wicked(-ness).
