²² By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,^{(A) 23} gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ^[a] have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.^{(B) 25} If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

⁷ Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

3 ¹ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
