(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:9 Go To Ephesians 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
In all goodness, he says: this is opposed to the angry, and the bitter: and righteousness; this to the covetous: and truth; this to false pleasure: not those former things, he says, which I was mentioning, but their opposites. In all; that is, the fruit of the Spirit ought to be evinced in everything. Proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord; so that those things are tokens of a childish and imperfect mind.
