The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23)

Galatians 5:22–23 names 9 qualities. They are listed here in the order the King James Version gives them, followed by the two verses themselves.

The 9 items, in KJV order

  1. Love
  2. Joy
  3. Peace
  4. Longsuffering
  5. Gentleness
  6. Goodness
  7. Faith
  8. Meekness
  9. Temperance

The words are printed as the KJV spells them. The verse itself does not number them, so they are not numbered here either. A linked word has its own topic page on this site under exactly that word.
