Full Lay Monks: 4th Year - 4th Month

 Right Life: Holiness; The Fruit of the Spirit    I Peter 1:16; Galatians 5:22-23

Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

-I Peter 1:16

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

-Galatians 5:22-23

 Wholly the Fruit of the Spirit: "Not I, but Christ..."

Christian character is not mere moral or legal correctness, but the possession and manifestation of nine graces: 

love, joy, peace -- character as an inward state;

longsuffering, gentleness, goodness -- character in expression toward man; 

faith, meekness, temperance -- character in expression toward God. 

Taken together they present a moral portrait of Christ, and may be taken as the apostle's explanation of Galatians 2:20 "Not I, but Christ," and as a definition of "fruit" in John 15:1-8. 

This character is possible because of the believer's vital union to Christ (John 15:5; 1Corinthians 12:12-13) and is wholly the fruit of the Spirit in those believers who are yielded to Him.

-Scofield Reference Notes for Galatians 5:22-23
