Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:30

Righteousness is not just internally beneficial — it produces life for others. The righteous person is like a tree of life, whose fruit nourishes those around them. And 'winning souls' — leading others to God — is identified as a mark of wisdom. Evangelism is not just duty; it is wisdom.

Memory phrase: Righteous people give life.

Talk about it: Who is one person you would like to tell about God?

Prayer: God, help me tell others about You.
