Fruits of Righteousness
Sermon Audio: http://wp.me/p2kJm-ze
Pure = εἰλικρινής
Literally this is "judged by the sun" (ἑλίος = sun)
Blameless = ἀπρόσκοπος
"not stumbling" or "clear". In this case, it could easily be "without bumps"
There is no way to miss that this is meant to be metaphor for a container for the fruits of righteousness. Paul selects an image worth considering.
