Bible Question:
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the spirit is love,joy peace,longsuffering,gentleness,goodness,faith,meekness,temperence. Why is the word " fruit' singular used and not "fruits" plural. |
Bible Answer: I think it is because all those things together are the fruit of the spirit. The Spirit of God instills all of these things in a person, so they are referred to collectively as "the fruit". |
