Galatians 5:22

22. Three inward graces.

Love Placed at the head, (as hate is placed at the opposite head of malign emotions, Galatians 5:20,) as fountain of all the rest.

Joy Springing from sense of love from and to God and man.

Peace The calmer state of quiet and permanent joy. These are the three felicities and blessednesses of Christian life, giving existence and strength to all the Christian virtues.

Next come the three active graces of longsuffering, gentleness, and goodness.

Longsuffering Enduring from others, as being sustained by a central love and peace within.

Gentleness A kindly disposition and dealing with others.

Goodness In active benevolence.

Next, the manifest qualities of character.

Faith Good-faith, fidelity, trustiness, and trueness.
