Galatians 5:22-23

Context

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit 1  is love, 2  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 3  5:23 gentleness, and 4  self-control. Against such things there is no law.

1 tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

2 sn 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.

3 tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.

4 tn “And” is supplied here as a matter of English style, which normally inserts “and” between the last two elements of a list or series.
