ANSWER: Gal 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
Regarding your last comment - there's a lot to ponder, practice and pray about in Genesis/Exodus: What is the nature of man's relationship to God? What is God's covenant with his chosen people and how has that relationship evolved (to this day)? I've heard it said that the NT is illuminated in the OT and the OT is fulfilled in the NT.
That said, I'm glad to be in Matthew where I feel comfortable.
