Nine qualities Paul says grow in a life led by God's Spirit, from Galatians 5:22–23 — quoted here in full from the King James Version.
Paul lists these right after a much longer list of “works of the flesh” — the fruit of the Spirit is framed as the contrast.
"the fruit of the Spirit is love"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Selfless goodwill toward others, the quality Paul elsewhere calls the greatest of all (1 Corinthians 13:13).
"joy"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
A deep gladness that isn't dependent on circumstances going well.
"peace"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Inner calm and right relationship with God, not merely the absence of conflict.
"longsuffering"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Patience under pressure — the ability to endure difficult people or situations without giving up or lashing out.
"gentleness"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Kindness and consideration in how one treats others, even when it isn't deserved.
"goodness"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Moral integrity expressed in action — doing what is right and generous toward others.
"faith"Galatians 5:22, King James Version
Faithfulness and trustworthiness — reliability that others can depend on, not just belief.
"meekness"Galatians 5:23, King James Version
Strength under control — humility and gentleness rather than weakness.
"temperance"Galatians 5:23, King James Version
Self-control — restraint over one's own impulses and desires.
The King James Version says “the fruit of the Spirit,” singular — suggesting one unified result with nine facets, rather than nine separate fruits to pick and choose from.
Galatians 5:19–21 lists behaviors like strife, envy, and drunkenness right before this passage — Paul is drawing a deliberate contrast between the two ways of living.
Paul closes the list by noting that no law is needed to restrain these qualities — they aren't the kind of thing that needs to be reined in.
