(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:9 Go To Ephesians 5
Jerome
AD 420
Christ himself is rightly called goodness, righteousness and truth. He is goodness in that he gives grace to those who believe in him, not according to their works but according to his mercy. He is himself righteousness in that he gives to each what he deserves. He is himself truth in that he is the one who knows the causes of all creatures and all things. .
