Galatia 5:5

5:5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

Galatia 5:16

5:16 But I say, live ¹  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. ² 

Galatia 5:22

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit ³  is love, ⁴  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ⁵ 

[5:16]  ¹ tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).

[5:16]  ² tn On the term “flesh” (once in this verse and twice in v. 17) see the note on the same word in Gal 5:13.

[5:22]  ³ tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

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