⁹ (for ^(A)the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),

^9 (A)No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's^[a] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. ¹⁰ By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, ^(B)nor is the one who ^(C)does not love his brother.

¹¹ Beloved, ^(A)do not imitate evil but imitate good. ^(B)Whoever does good is from God; ^(C)whoever does evil has not seen God.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^23 (D)gentleness, ^(E)self-control; ^(F)against such things there is no law.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

^14 (A)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,^[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with ^(B)all knowledge and able to instruct one another.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, ^(A)having fastened on the belt of truth, and ^(B)having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

¹¹ But as for you, ^(A)O man of God, ^(B)flee these things. ^(C)Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

¹¹ filled ^(A)with the fruit of righteousness that comes ^(B)through Jesus Christ, ^(C)to the glory and praise of God.

^24 (A)He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we ^(B)might die to sin and ^(C)live to righteousness. ^(D)By his wounds you have been healed. ²⁵ For ^(E)you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^(F)the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
