akarpos describes a mind, person, or word that does not yield the expected outcome, and also characterizes works and trees.

The term most often describes people or a person's capacity as failing to yield the intended result; it also describes a word choked by cares and riches, as well as works of darkness and autumnal trees.

1. Failing to yield an intended result · dominant

   In 1 Corinthians 14:14, the nominative singular masculine form describes the mind while the spirit prays; the APB renders the clause "but my mind is unfruitful." In 2 Peter 1:8, the accusative plural masculine form concerns those possessing and increasing in the stated qualities, while Titus 3:14 speaks of people learning to devote themselves to good works so that they may not lack the outcome in view.

2. A word prevented from producing its result · common

   In Mark 4:19 and Matthew 13:22, the nominative singular masculine form describes the word after cares and the deceit of riches choke it. The APB renders the result in each verse as the word becoming "unfruitful."

   Mark 4:19Matthew 13:22
3. Works or trees marked by no yield · common

   In Ephesians 5:11, the dative plural neuter form modifies "works of darkness," from which readers are told to keep apart and instead expose. In Jude 1:12, the nominative plural neuter form occurs in the description of autumnal trees alongside "waterless clouds" and being "twice dead, uprooted."

   Ephesians 5:11Jude 1:12

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently uses "unfruitful" for the described mind, people, word, works, and trees. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, its repeated wording confirms the verse-level presentation without isolating every individual correspondence.
