| Galatians 5:22
| But the fruit of the spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,
| The fruit of the Spirit is charity, etc. There are numbered twelve of these fruits in the Latin, though but nine in the Greek text, in St. Chrysostom; St. Jerome; St. Augustine, tract. lxxxvii. in Joan. p. 756. The difference may again happen by the Latin interpreter using two words to express one Greek word. It is observed, that longanimity and patience are in a manner the same; so are benignity and goodness; and so may be here continency and chastity. (Witham)
