But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (WEB)
The nine fruits
- Love: Love in Galatians 5 is the self-giving kind: choosing someone else's good, even when it costs you.
- Joy: Joy is a deep gladness rooted in God, not in circumstances.
- Peace: Peace is wholeness: a settled heart with God that steadies you inside and helps you mend things with others.
- Patience: The Greek word literally means 'long-tempered'.
- Kindness: Kindness is goodness turned outward in warm, practical care.
- Goodness: Goodness is integrity in action: doing what's right, and doing good, even when it's costly or no one is watching..
- Faithfulness: The World English Bible translates this word as 'faith' in Galatians 5:22, and many translations render it 'faithfulness'.
- Gentleness: Gentleness is strength under control.
- Self-control: Self-control is the inner strength to say no to what harms you and yes to what's good.

Nine practice plans, nine tools
- Love: See Them. Choose one person. Notice what they're carrying, name what they need, and plan one concrete act of love.
- Joy: Gladness Jar. Drop in small, specific moments of gladness. On a heavy day, shake the jar and reread one.
- Peace: Hold or Carry. Write down a worry. Decide honestly: is there a next step that's mine to do, or is this something to hand over?
- Patience: The Pause. Hold the circle while you breathe through a moment of frustration. Let go early and it gently resets.
- Kindness: Unseen Kindness. Choose a quiet act of kindness, do it without telling anyone, then mark it done. Only you will ever see this list.
- Goodness: The Right Thing. Talk yourself through a real decision with four honest questions, then commit to what you'll do.
- Faithfulness: Small Promises. Make one small, specific promise with a date. When the day comes, mark it honestly: kept, renegotiated or missed.
- Gentleness: Soften It. Paste or type a message before you send it. Soften It points out harsh patterns on your phone, then you rewrite it in your own words.
- Self-control: Urge Delay. Name the urge and start a short delay. When it ends, make a conscious choice instead of an automatic one.

What is the Fruit of the Spirit test?
A free, 2-minute test of 27 everyday situations, three for each fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. It shows your strongest fruit and the one that's still growing, as a Fruit Wheel you can share.
