Fruit, spiritual » Conditions of fruit-bearing » Christian graces exemplify
Yes, just as you are already very rich in faith, readiness of speech, knowledge, unwearied zeal, and in the love that is in you, implanted by us, see to it that this grace of liberal giving also flourishes in you.
But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge; along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude; fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;
by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love;
along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
Longsuffering » Encouraged
Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.
Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;
proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.

Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.
by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love;
Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, but in deed and in truth.
