Galatians 5:22

22 But the fruit of the Spirit ^{▼▼ That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.} is love, ^{▼▼ Another way to punctuate this is “love” followed by a colon (love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). It is thus possible to read the eight characteristics following “love” as defining love.} joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^{▼▼ Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.}
