Fruit means children

Answer:That would depend upon the context in which the word is used. In its natural use, fruit would be the edible pulp surrounding the seeds of many plants: grapes, figs, olives, pomegranates, and apples. The fruit of the womb is a common expression for descendants (Gen. 30:2, Duet. 7:13, Ps. 127:3, Isa. 13:18). Fruit often indicates a thought close to our word results. The fruit of the Spirit is the result of the Spirit's workings in the lives of believers (Gal. 5:22-23). Similar is the use of fruit where we would speak of manifestations or expressions: fruits of righteousness (Phil. 1:11, Jas. 3:18), repentance (Matt. 3:8), and light (Eph. 5:9). Jesus cautioned that false prophets could be identified by the fruit they produced (Matt. 7:15-20). Jesus similarly warned of the necessity of bearing fruit compatible with citizenship in the kingdom of God (Matt. 21:43). Fruit sometimes has the sense of reward (Isa. 3:10, John 4:36, Phil. 4:17). Fruit is also used as a picture for Christian converts (Rom. 1:13. 1 Cor. 16:15).
