The Nine (9) Fruits Of The Spirit

The most famous Bible verse about the fruits of the Spirit is in Galatians 5:22, where the apostle Paul gives us a list of nine spiritual fruit. (Paul was into making lists.) The list is meant in part as a contrast to the list of the 'deeds of the flesh' found in 5:19-20. The spiritual fruit list is clearly not meant as an exhaustive description of the fruits, but was given to highlight what Paul wants the Galatian church to keep in mind. He lists nine fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.
