Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [SUP]23 [/SUP]gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
The Spirit, in this verse, is the Holy Spirit of God. Dwelling in the believers of Jesus
Christ
