love. joy. peace. patience. kindness. goodness. faithfulness. gentleness. self-control. (paul)
faith. goodness. knowledge. self-control. perseverance. godliness. brotherly kindness. love. (peter)
Is it conincidence that Paul and Peter have given us such closely related instruction about what we become when under the umbrella of Christ...? I think not. What we become is a humanity devoted to each other, who are strong and peaceful and loving and disciplined and controlled and patient.
I'm so amazed at how the whole picture comes together so frequently in Scripture. Cool stuff.
