What are the 9 fruits of the Spirit?
Bible Q&AYour next question:
> The second is- What are the 9 fruits of the Spirit?
The fruit of the Spirit is stated in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Please note that the fruit of the Spirit is set in contrast to the "works of the flesh" (Gal. 5:19-21). And, that the text says there is one "fruit" of the Spirit, which has multiple traits (love, joy, peace, etc.). So really, according to Galatians 5:22, there is one "fruit of the Spirit," not "9 fruits of the Spirit.
If we will live by the truth which the Spirit has revealed - the gospel - we will produce its fruit in our life (Gal.
5:16-18, 24-26).
Thank you again for your Bible questions.
Cordially yours,
