NASB | Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
Subject: Fruit vs. Works: the same or different? |
Bible Note: One small correction, Angel. The fruit of the Spirit is not plural; i.e., it is "fruit" not "fruits." Scripture uses the term "fruits," but it has other significance there. The fruit of the Spirit is not a variety of individual things. When present it is always all of the things of Galatians 5:22-23 and Ephesians 5:9. Thus, if a person is longsuffering, but is not loving as well, that person is not showing the fruit of the Spirit. |
