Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22 - 23 in the New Revised Standard Version

First, read the passage from St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians to determine the fruit of the Spirit.

Be certain to use the New Revised Standard Version because other versions have different names for the fruit.

The passage highlights the characteristics that develop in a person who is guided by the Holy Spirit.

After identifying the nine fruit, place them in the word-cross puzzle below (one word is hyphenated, and the hyphen takes up one block just as a letter does).
