Frutos do Espírito
Os frutos do Espírito são evidências visíveis da presença de Deus na vida do crente. Amor, alegria, paz, paciência — são marcas que diferenciam os filhos de Deus no mundo.
O fruto do Espírito
O fruto do Espírito é amor, alegria, paz, paciência, amabilidade, bondade, fidelidade, mansidão e domínio próprio. Contra estas coisas não há lei.
But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, long abiding, benignity, [or good will], goodness, mildness, faith,
temperance, continence, chastity; against such things is no law.
For ye were sometime darknesses, but now ye be light in the Lord. Walk ye as the sons of light.
For the fruit of light is in all goodness, and rightwiseness, and truth.
And prove ye what thing is well pleasing to God.
But wisdom that is from above, first it is chaste, afterward peaceable, mild, able to be counselled [or persuadable], consenting to good things, full of mercy and of good fruits, deeming without feigning.
And the fruit of rightwiseness is sown in peace, to men that make peace.
And so, my brethren, ye be made dead to the law by [or through] the body of Christ, that ye be of another, that rose again from death, that ye bear fruit to God.
For when we were in flesh, passions of sins, that were by the law, wrought in our members, to bear fruit to death.
But now we be unbound from the law of death, in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
Therefore what fruit had ye then in those things, in which ye shame now? For the end of them is death.
But now ye delivered from sin, and made servants to God, have your fruit into holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Permanecer em Cristo
Quem permanece em Cristo dá muito fruto. Toda árvore boa produz bons frutos — e é pelo fruto que se conhece a árvore.
Dwell ye in me, and I in you; as a branch may not make fruit of itself, but it dwell in the vine, so neither ye, but ye dwell in me.
I am the vine, ye be the branches. Who [or He] that dwelleth in me, and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me ye may nothing do.
In this thing my Father is clarified, that ye bring forth full much fruit, and that ye be made my disciples.
It is not a good tree, that maketh evil fruits, neither an evil tree, that maketh good fruits;
for every tree is known of his fruit. And men gather not figs of thorns, neither men gather a grape of a bush of briars.
A good man of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things, and an evil man of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things; for of the plenty of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Therefore do ye worthy fruits of penance,
Semear e colher
Quem semeia na justiça colherá fruto de vida. Os frutos do Espírito são a colheita de uma vida plantada no Senhor.
Sow ye to you rightfulness [or rightwiseness] in truth, and reap ye in the mouth of mercy, and make ye new to you a field newly brought to tilth. Forsooth time is to seek the Lord, when he cometh, that shall teach you rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
Say ye to the just [or rightwise] man, that it shall be to him well; for he shall eat the fruit of his findings.
And not only it, but also we us-selves, that have the first fruits of the Spirit, and we us-selves sorrow within us for the adoption of God’s sons, abiding the again-buying of our body.
My fruit is better than gold, and precious stone; and my seeds [or my burgeonings]be better than chosen silver.
