GALATIANS 5:22-23 (NIV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
THINGS TO PONDER...
The fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Spirit, not by the Christian. The Greek word is singular, showing that “fruit” (KARPOS) is a unified whole, not independent characteristics. As we grow, all the characteristics of Christ will be manifested in our lives.
