The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control…” Galatians 5:22-23 (NRSV)
“[They are] fruit, not works. [The Apostle Paul] has spoken elegantly by allotting works to the flesh and fruit to the Spirit.”
St. Jerome (c.347-420) Doctor of the Church in Epistle to the Galatians 3.5.22 cf. ACCSG 84.
