2 Korintus 6:6

6:6 by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, ¹  by genuine ²  love,

Galatia 5:22-23

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit ³  is love, ⁴  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ⁵  5:23 gentleness, and ⁶  self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Efesus 4:2

4:2 with all humility and gentleness, ⁷  with patience, bearing with ⁸  one another in love,

[6:6]  ¹ tn Or “by holiness of spirit.”

[6:6]  ² tn Or “sincere.”

[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.

[5:23]  ⁶ 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.

[4:2]  ⁷ tn Or “meekness.” The word is often used in Hellenistic Greek of the merciful execution of justice on behalf of those who have no voice by those who are in a position of authority (Matt 11:29; 21:5).

[4:2]  ⁸ tn Or “putting up with”; or “forbearing.”
