Define "Winneth souls"

[John of Japan]

Here's what I'm thinking:
The first part of the verse is about a 'tree of life;' somwhere that people can come, if they so choose, and obtain life, just like we can with an orange tree and oranges. Thus, a wise person is one who has available anwers to questions (and lives in a way that provokes questions) regarding eternal life. In other words, we should live in a way ready to answer anyone who comes to us desiring the truth, and if we are wise, we will win souls to Christ this way.

Bad interpretation?
This is based on your answering posts and a little meditation.:saint:
