Galatians 5:22–23

Galatians 5:22–26

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

Context note · editorial

Paul names the fruit of the Spirit while contrasting different ways of living. These qualities describe a life being formed in community, rather than a scorecard of personal adequacy.
