Galatia 5:6

5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love. ¹ 

Galatia 5:22-23

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

[5:6]  ¹ tn Grk “but faith working through love.”

[5:22]  ² tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

[5:22]  ³ 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.

[5:22]  ⁴ tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.

[5:23]  ⁵ 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.
