The fruits of the Spirit
These are the ones who indeed walk after the Spirit. Being filled with faith and with the Holy Ghost, they possess in their hearts, and show forth in their lives, in the whole course of their words and actions, the genuine fruits of the Spirit of God. Those fruits are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance, and whatever else is lovely or praiseworthy.
They adorn in all things the gospel of God our Savior. And they give full proof to all mankind that they are indeed actuated by the same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead.
