22 聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、23 溫柔、節制。這樣的事，沒有律法禁止。
If the fruit borne by the Holy Spirit is only one fruit and not nine different types of fruit, then you in this one fruit, we should have the taste of all the nine fruits. What this means is in love,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
If the fruit borne by the Holy Spirit is only one fruit and not nine different types of fruit, then you in this one fruit, we should have the taste of all the nine fruits. What this means is in love, you should be able to taste one, a few or all eight other fruits - joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Can we say the same for patience? In patience, you see love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control?
Outline:
The context of these two verses
What is patient and why is patient a virtue?
An illustration in one of Jesus’ parables -
21 那時，彼得進前來，對耶穌說：“主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？”22 耶穌說：“我對你說：不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。23 天國好像一個王要和他僕人算賬。24 才算的時候，有人帶了一個欠一千萬銀子的來。25 因為他沒有甚麼償還之物，主人吩咐把他和他妻子兒女，並一切所有的都賣了償還。26 那僕人就俯伏拜他，說：‘主啊，寬容我！將來我都要還清。’27 那僕人的主人就動了慈心，把他釋放了，並且免了他的債。
28 那僕人出來，遇見他的一個同伴欠他十兩銀子，便揪著他，掐住他的喉嚨，說：‘你把所欠的還我！’29 他的同伴就俯伏央求他說：‘寬容我吧！將來我必還清。’30 他不肯，竟去把他下在監裡，等他還了所欠的債。31 眾同伴看見他所做的事，就甚憂愁，去把這事都告訴了主人。32 於是，主人叫了他來，對他說：‘你這惡奴才！你央求我，我就把你所欠的都免了。33 你不應當憐恤你的同伴，像我憐恤你嗎？’34 主人就大怒，把他交給掌刑的，等他還清了所欠的債。35 你們各人若不從心裡饒恕你的弟兄，我天父也要這樣待你們了。”
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” 10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. 11 Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Gal 5
