BIBLE-FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT

Love Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  Be devoted to one another in  brotherly love.  Honor one another above yourselves.  Never be lacking in zeal, but keep  your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.  Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.   Share with God's people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.  Romans 12:9-13 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has  been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because  God is love.  1 John 4:7-8 Joy Be joyful always; pray continually;  give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for  you in Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may  overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13 Peace Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to  peace.  And be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish  one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude  in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of  the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  Colossians 3:15-17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate,  submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in  peace raise a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18 Patience Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make every  effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body and one  Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one  baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.   Ephesians 4:2-6 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming.  See how the farmer waits for the land to  yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.  You too, be  patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. James 5:7-8 Kindness Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with  compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive  whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.   And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:12-14 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness,  knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to  perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,  love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being  ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  2 Peter 1:5-8
