Galatians 5:22, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul is writing to Gentile believers in Galatia who were being pressured by teachers insisting they keep the Mosaic law, including circumcision. Just before this verse he lists the acts of the flesh, then shifts to a single "fruit" (Greek karpos, meaning fruit or harvest), suggesting one produce with many facets rather than a checklist of achievements.
