Does "no good will come of this" mean "no good will come from this"?

It is about the meaning of "of" - Random House Dictionary points out that it means "coming from" or "resulting from". I am not sure.


=============
Come:
to occur in the course of time: Christmas comes but once a year
to happen as a result: no good will come of this
to originate or be derived: good may come of evil
to occur to the mind: the truth suddenly came to me
