&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Galatians 5:22-23 ESV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A quick google search for “fruit of the spirit” results in images like this:
&lt;img alt=&#34;2 images of different fruits individually labelled with attributes&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34; src=&#34;https://things-above.blog/images/spiritual-fruit-example.jpg&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While these are lovely, heartfelt images created with great intentions, the “fruit” is depicted as several distinct kinds of fruit, sometimes all growing from a single tree, other times depicted separately. But doesn’t quite work logically or botanically.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
