But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:22 Go To Galatians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The fruit of the Spirit is charity There are numbered twelve of these fruits in the Latin, though but nine in the Greek text, in St. Chrysostom; St. Jerome; St. Augustine, tract. lxxxvii. in Joan. p. 756. The difference may again happen by the Latin interpreter using two words to express one Greek word. It is observed, that longanimity and patience are in a manner the same; so are benignity and goodness; and so may be here continency and chastity. (Witham)
