The verses around Galatians 5:22.
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Verse explanation
“Fruit of the Spirit,” singular, not “fruits,” suggests that these qualities — love, joy, peace — grow together, as a single result of the Spirit’s work, not separate achievements the person picks up one by one.
From the Galatians 5 study in Bible in Stories.
