Ephesians5:9
For the fruit of the Spirit. That is, since the Holy Spirit, through the gospel, produces goodness, righteousness, and truth, see that you exhibit these in your lives, and thus show that you are the children of light. On the fruits of the Spirit, Gall 5:22,23.
Is in all goodness. Is seen in producing all kinds of goodness. He who is not good is not a Christian.
(g) "of the Spirit" Gall 5:22
